• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

It amazes me how naiive everyone was back in the day eary augths where people share their ASL, IM usernames, and their myspace page on their forum proifle. However, it's a different time now.

Privacy should be the default, PII should be private. I was shocked today to discover this information was public by default because that's the default setting of the forum.

1. please change the default setting so birthdays are completely private, right now they are public and if users were honest then these are all easily found through a google search. I doubt most people realize their birthday is public in their profile.
2. consider removing birthdays and deleting this information from the sqldb. A simple "over xx age" bit field would suffice.
3. consider disabling that old outdated social stuff from being able to be filled out in the proile.
