If it's long -- probably not.

Thanks Moros. Will stay with the current regime.

... you're kidding. All this time trying different passwords and *that* was it?

New password policy is being enforced. All users will have to change their passwords to comply.

Edit: ...or just change your password to your current password if your current one already complies. Big Grin

I changed mine just so I could log out. It wouldn't even let me do that unless I changed it. Forcing people to change their passwords to something you personally approve of is totally fucked up. I no longer want anything to do with any site you operate, Adrian. Fuck off.

I don't care about being hacked though, I might actually have to move on to a different site now Sad

That's not what this was about. This is about making sure our users are not using passwords that are easily guessed.

You might not care, but other people do.

If you both want to leave a site because you have to use a strong password on it, so be it. It's a fucking ridiculous reason, and you both know it.

If they did, wouldn't they have made their passwords that strong in the first place? These type of passwords should be used for an account users have money invested in, not a forum site.

I don't want to have to memorize a long-ass password that I don't use for anything else.
