In case folks are interested, they seem to have fixed the login issue over at OSW. You can now login (but you'll probably have to start with one of those random ones first), get to your settings, and update/save a new password. I was able to get on this morning, but I don't think I'll be staying, or going back.
As many of you know, last weekend, I sent out a blanket PM to about a dozen members whose usernames I could remember, before I couldn't get back on again (today being the 1st day I was able to get back on). I had received PMs back from some of those members (many of whom are now here), but was unable to read them until today. Among those messages was a PM from Li (the new webmaster/admin guy over there) which had been sent to me on Wednesday (again, nothing I could read until today). This is what he had to say:
"Hi there,
I've been notified for a couple of days that your account has been hitting our spam protection filter. A link has been sent out to many users from your account on the forum. Our Canadian Anti-Spam Law protects users from receiving unwanted solicitation. Can you explain what is happening?
Li"
So... apparently, sending folks a link to this site is a big no-no through PMs. Just wanted to let you all know. Frankly, I don't really care for the tone his message implies, and as far as I'm concerned I won't be going back to OSW.
