yeah, the password changes are unnecessary. i forgot mine with this last update and just requested a new temporary password to change into the new one. keeping scammers out with paid membership was ant's brainchild because he didnt want people in the community like myself having access to the admin cp being that he knew he was doing us all a discourtesy which could risk his investment... greedy f'n oatmeal fairy. i think the server admin team just doesn't know any better other than continuing how things were done before it changed hands.
i have no clue why the fuck theyre doing this shit still, but it's annoying as hell to explain how to make it thrive again to no avail. even colorblind is getting database errors keeping him from posting, so it's obvious theyre messing with something in the format without reading much into it. personally, id rather watch it burn like a viking funeral since the shitwits at the helm are reminiscent of a benny hill end credit montage whenever issues are brought up.
