Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. Don’t use a password there that you’ve used anywhere else.

This thread is frustrating. Everyone seems more interested in nitpicking the specifics of what OP is saying and are ignoring that a forum sends you your password (not an automatically generated one) in an email on registration.

    Sending passwords via email Will compromise any passwords sent via email.

    100%. But that is a different problem and a different attack vector than storing passwords in plain text for authentication. When reporting security issues, it's important to be precise.
