So apparently, the old NWN forums got hacked.

Did anyone else get those emails sent to them? It's weird, I barely remembered that those forums existed, and bless 'em somebody really took the trouble to break into those ancient databases.

I can barely remember what went on while I was there, and now I feel really old and out of touch. I do remember a very heated (hahaha) argument over the re-appropriation of fire opals as low-calibre loot, and some silly talk about ancient all-powerful polo mints, but that's about it.

I forget what the topic here was supposed to be, I'm just still reeling from suddenly remembering all that stuff.

Same here, and heard about it long before I even got that email. In the end not much more that you can do than change your password on Ea/BioWare's new social site (particularly if you use the same username/password as you did in the NWN community).

In fact in general it's good to change your passwords frequently (yeah I know; I don't do it near often enough either because it's a royal pain) and make sure that you use different passwords for different sites/communities.

It's been rather insane in general though; lots of game companies getting hacked lately.
