So...what the hell is happening with the PC?

[WhatTheHellIsGoingOn]

This is Tgo01/Dreaven.

I was logged off from the PC earlier and when I tried to log back in it kept telling me my password was incorrect. I know I was typing it correctly and tried another 3 or 4 times just to be sure. I then tried logging in from my phone and I was having the same problem.

Thinking it just might be a temporary bug or something and maybe everyone was having the same problem I didn't think much about it. However I noticed some people were still posting so apparently it wasn't effecting everyone. Then I noticed my avatar (the dog reading a newspaper) was no longer showing up, then I noticed other people's avatars were no longer showing up either (Tisket, ParkBandit, Fortybox, just to name a few, not to mention their sigs are gone as well.) Yet other people's avatars and sigs are still showing up.

So. Yeah. Hi. What the fuck is happening?

A few minutes ago I noticed Tgo01 was logged on so I can only imagine someone has hacked into some people's PC accounts.

Everyone might want to change their password.

WTF.

[hello]

How do we know this isn't some phising attempt and that you aren't some impostor?

[BriarFox]

Isn't there a password reset link?

My account, Chalion is also doing the same thing. Password reset says there is no account with the email address I used.
changing the throw away password I use for stuff now.

I don't believe there is an e-mail server attached to PC anymore. That's why there's no e-mail for initial authentication, and password resets haven't been available for a while. As moderator, I cannot adjust anything account/password related. I will reach out to Kranar.

got this when I signed up.
Password reset told me that the email address I used is no long associated with an account. Something else is going on.

You can track IP's though, strongly suggest you verify/match the two above posters to the usual IPs tgo and chalion post from before you do anything.

It's them. And, even so, their story wouldn't surprise me. I know many things unseen.
