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.

I mean, there were a lot of forests in that thread. Like how it was an old screenshot and they don't do those emails anymore. Or you shouldn't re-use passwords anyways. I don't blame people for missing 1 or 2 forests.
