Default Re: FFR Hacked.

Multiple people with a far better understanding of how FFR's backend works have strenuously advocated for -not- attempting a forcible password reset for the users. I tend to want to trust their judgment.

In what I'm sure is a shockingly large number of cases, the email address tied to people's accounts is years out of date and non-functional, which would mean your password gets reset, you have no way to get back at it, and you'll have to make a new account just to ask us to reset it manually for you.
