Yes. I'm not sure why the v8 archive was hidden but whatever concern I had has passed by now.

General Discussion / SMF Login vulnerability: Change your passwords
« on: July 09, 2018, 09:52:48 AM »
There was a vulnerability of some kind on the forum that allowed an attacker to login to seemingly arbitrary accounts. I received reports that this was due to brute forcing the password recovery email link, but some some compromised accounts did not have their password changed. There may be more than one vulnerability and it may not be fixed. My confidence in smf is low.
I have taken the following actions:
* Updated to SMF 2.0.15
* Changed email recovery code to be 40 characters instead of 10
* Deleted lastest 1000 posts and latest 42 topics (approximately covering the period in which accounts were compromised)
* Restored user data from 2018-05-03 backup (so your passwords and profile info will be whatever it was two months ago)
Updating the forum involved resetting all user permissions and porting over various hacks and fixes. If I've missed something critical, please tell me directly via PM or email.
Update: If you have not done so since the update, I'd recommend changing your password.

Drama / Re: Badspot & Rotondo - Completely incompetent lately
« on: July 01, 2018, 10:49:03 PM »on a more serious note: people may also want to be moderators cause they want to help make the place function better. they may have misguided views on what really would do a place good, but their intentions arent psychopathic by nature.
Totalitarianism will be different when I'm in charge!

Consider the type of person who would willingly become a forum moderator.
A system of volunteer moderators results in the people who most want to be moderators becoming moderators. The people who most want to become moderators are psychopaths. You can see this process in action in literally every forum to ever exist.

Off Topic / Re: Super Official Podcast - Episode 3
« on: May 28, 2018, 09:16:27 PM »two Complaints i have:
1) for some reason you're storing the files as stereo? instead of mono?
2) you really should apply volume compression to the podcast so then the volume levels are consistent - so its easier to listen to
The Kill la Kill clip is in stereo and sound significantly worse in mono. Audio compression is smart enough to not waste any data on the rest of the tracks so it makes no difference.
I did run it through the audacity compressor filter with the default settings. I was wary of cranking it up too high and having it sound weird.

Against the natural order of the universe (entropy), Rotondo and I have produced a third podcast.
We may have done a bad job explaining what we're actually talking about several times, but there are links in the timeline section.
