Lovely.
Also, the modern-looking wooden sink with its wooden faucet is... er... well...

Another TS3 preview, right?

oh well, just like the thing. I can't change my passowrd because I dont have a zip code. I tried but it just keeps asking for my address details. Bloody ridiculous, good job I used a fake address eh? ha ha ha
Had a look at their privacy policy and it would seem they take this type of thing very serious, lmao
I changed my password over there without problems, you don't have to confirm your address. Under Password section of Edit My Account menu you type your new password and then verify it, click on Change button, that's it.

In other words, U R WRONG.
You are too wrapped up in this to see that your statement is petty, whiney and proves nothing... the logs show she looked, and prove nothing about use. If you want to win arguments and converts, use provable assertions. If you just want to be perceived as a whiney bitch that dislikes some ho, well, carry on.

Nice bit of the bleeding obvious ... I read janeyw's complaint as meaning she was unable to recover her password (presumably forgotten but still needed to change the original) due to not having access to the email address she used when she originally registered and was consequently bogged down in some labyrinthine mire of her own making. All of which conjecture leads me to wonder why janeyw felt an overwhelming urge to change a password that is almost certainly is of less use than a tracksuit to a Russian crewman on the ISS.

I just love that, in all of this, the party line from TSR is ,"Oh yeah, we were hacked a few months ago. Must have been them."
I'm sorry, did TSR just ask us, in the face of an overwhelmingly damning mountain of evidence, to accept the "My little brother must have logged onto my account" defense? To accept that some lone hacker out there in the wilderness somewhere just happened to use Thomas' account (while mimicking Thomas' IP address) to do a hostile takeover of the account of someone who just happened to have made a complaint against the site this lone hacker had allegedly ransacked? Oh, for fuck's sake.
Not only does that story strain credibility past its limits, it also utterly defies logic. Given the lack of mention of other accounts being cracked, it is safe to assume that Buggy's account was specifically targeted. On the same day s/he lodged a complaint against another site. The owner of which's account info just happened to be used by this lone hacker. Who conveniently obfuscated his own IP address to match that of the allegedly hacked owner's. And who randomly selected "switch this target's policies to say 'paysite friendly'" as a change to make on the aforementioned very day s/he lodged a complaint against a paysite.
Okay, no, that doesn't seem very likely. So maybe the story is that this person didn't "just happen" to go after Buggy; maybe this one-armed man hacker knew about the complaint and targeted Buggy because he loves TSR so very much and wanted to help them? Y'know, help that site he'd previously hacked and stolen the account infos from? Because he loves them so very much? And masked his IP address so he could pretend he was Thomas while he was doing it?
Not buying that one, hm? How about: the same lone hacker who happened to have Thomas' info and wouldn't ordinarily have any idea that TSR just had a complaint against it just happened to find out about Buggy's complaint and chose to mess with Buggy's account so that it would look like Buggy had no leg to stand on in his/her complaint in order to set Thomas up to look like he had violated Buggy's account despite the fact that the methods he chose to do so would normally never actually point to Thomas and thereby stand little to no chance of actually coming back to haunt TSR, only this time it happened to work?
Yes, that must be what happened.
