As somebody that just found out about this breach, I will add my voice to those that say an email should have been sent.
Because the notice is no longer on the front page, had I not stumbled into the part of the forum, I still would not know about this problem.
For those that say, but it is a million plus email messages, then set some arbitrary date. Notify those with activity after that date, and lock those accounts with no activity prior to that date to force a password change.
Time to go chage a few passwords...
Rob,
Thanks for taking the time to let us know what went into your decision to not send out email messages. I understand the ramifications of sending out a million email messages could have caused. It would have just been helpful to have know about this security issue less than 16 days after it happened, and then only because I happened to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page (something I rarely ever do).
Reading through the thread I got the impression that there was a much larger notification initially. I just probably had not been on the forums here for at least a month, probably even longer.
I'm not too concerned about it. The worst thing that was going to get hacked by this security issue was a number of other forums that I visit that may have had the same password (don't even know for sure if they did).
