I think you underestimate TNT. I'll be the first to stand up and complain if something's amiss, but if they had a huge breach of security, there would be more than a little blurb in the News.


You mean if there was a glitch that allowed users to type in usernames and have passwords emailed to them, allowing hackers access to others email accounts and therefore credit card information they wouldn't just have an informal message on the BD board to JUST the advanced users until well after the fact? Strange... That's not how I see it. Or remember it.

As I remember, they put something (not enough, mind you) in the news, or front page, I can't remember. And immediately after, instituted the code image upon sign in. So they did something about it, and explained what it was for. They didn't lie about what happened. They downplayed it. Two completely different things.

Well, at least they didn't say: "We had some problems and stuff but now it's fixed". The problem being 700 accounts hacked; the fixed part being 6 of them restored.

Thank you TNT for bringing us into the light!

You probably weren't one of the hacked. There was a glitch that allowed anyone to get your password... but unless you were high-profile, you probably weren't targeted. Signs include: sudden loss of everything you owned at the time, sudden miraculous freezings and general feeling of depression. It only occured for one day though.

Chias and Lupes together? How dare TNT do that? They are demented rivals! They must never be together! I honestly could NEVER picture a Chia and a Lupe together :o *spits in disgust*
