Hello all. As you can see, the forum is back online. Last night at roughly 2:30am EST, the Dreamcraft forum was hacked by an unknown person. From what has been gathered, the password to the Admin CP was brute forced and the main forum page(www.dreamcraft.org/index.php) was replaced with a page of his own with some information on how it was done.

PASSWORDS!
One the Admin CP, anyone with access can see all the personal information posted by the account-holder, EXCEPT passwords. Those can only be changed, not seen. However, personal information such as your email, age, and location(the one you typed into your account, if you did. For instance, mine says "Florida") can be seen, regardless of if it's hidden or not. I personally do not think your passwords on other websites or your email you used are in danger. However, it is good practice to change them after such an event, and I will suggest it.

This is the first time this has happened to the Dreamcraft forums as long as I can recall, and we're taking steps to ensure this never happens again. Passwords to the Admin CP and forum Admins have been changed and we will keep a close eye on suspicious activity. Please be aware that we are human as well, and cannot watch the forum 24/7. If you notice anything yourself, please contact an admin or somebody else on staff, listed here: List of staff.

OTHER THINGS...
Noticing that the...discussion...in the post Dreamcraft Announcement Update 1 was getting a little heated between a couple members, I have deleted posts that were tangent to the primary discussion, as well as questions/statements that were already responded to. I can't stress enough how against deleting posts I am. It had to be done though, due to issues that should be taken care of in-private, and/or not on an announcement page. Feel free to private message me or ask away in this thread about how you feel, if you wish.
