It's your fault if you failed to update your electronic mail.

Disclaimer: Different opinions. This does not apply to you if you remember your information but the FA system refuses to send you a confirmation code.

"But I made an accounts so people don't know I'm a furry or like porn!":oops:

If you cared about your account you would have ensured that you had a dedicated email with a dedicated password. There are much more serious things than pornography

"But I used my college email.":eek:

Your school email is for SCHOOL.When you graduate they are no longer responsible for you or will continue to provide for you. What made you think it would last forever? It's not that hard to create another account for personal things. If anything have 2, one for business and one for yourself.

"But I forgot.":confused:

I bet you remembered to play your favorite game the other day. I bet you remembered to watch your favorite show the other day. I bet you remembered to check on your favorite artist profile. If you can't even remember for yourself then you never truly cared about your account.

"I have a life, I cant remember everything.":mad:

Reread that previous statement to yourself one more time. Set an alarm, keep a personal journal, make a reminder. We live a world where technology gives you an option so you won't forget. Hell, write a posted note. That excuse sums up how much you cared about your account.


Yes it is partially Furaffinity's fault for the lack of tightness in the security but it's your fault that your information was not kept up to date. Your information wasn't compromised the day of the hack, it was compromised when you stopped caring about your personal information being kept up to date. Please stop taking internet security so lightly.

So, yeah. Agreed completely. While the breach is none of us users' fault (unless one of us is the asshole who used the ImageTragic exploit, spread those USB drives with the source code on them, and/or stole the password/e-mail info, in which case fuck you, you fucking fucker), it completely is our fault if we have not kept our e-mail addresses current. There are any number of ways to get an anonymous e-mail account -- just make a Google account, for example, and use gmail.

Ryuu Girl, I can't tell if Rabiradis is talking to you, or me, or both. Just one of those randy posters who love to accuse everyone of drama. You said it well there. Drama is everywhere, its called life. She needs to stop being supercilious and trying to pretend her life is all roses where everyone agrees on everything.

Though I agree on all of your points, I'm just afraid of minimizing the lethargic practices and complacent attitudes that clearly have led to this incident. Hackers may have done the damage when they invaded, but the gates for them were left rusted open with a welcome mat.

Yeah, people are upset. Their trust was breached, Dragoneer and his staff have a lot of work ahead of them to make good on the negligence. Breach of privacy hits people deeply.

She was responding me to definitely but I too agree that drama is not limited to one group of people. It was here before us, it will still be here after us.

I truly do feel for the people that have personal information breached to the point that deleting the email is the only possible way of fixing things. Might as well reset everything connected to that email too.

I can draw, make power point slides, and google my problem. That's as far as my my "hacking skillz" go.

Google has one of the best email systems I have used and the fact that you can make multiple accounts takes the cake. Unless you're signing up for every newsletter in New York Times then it shouldn't be hard to keep up with your one email address.

I won't be surprised honestly. I've noticed it only when there seems to be minor conflict and bickering between 2 or more parties. I am prepared to sink with my ship.

Quite frankly, while I see now how important this is, I didn't even know that changing the email that you created your FA with was even a possibility. Nor did I even realize that it was going to be such a big deal.

Man I really want to hope you're wrong there.

Maybe I'm seeing the world through rose colored glasses. But I can't see why they would bother to try to censor users who are responsibly venting frustrations in a non-confrontational way (in an appropriate place). If I'm wrong, I worry for the future of the site.

I'll choose to trust that there is good judgement going on among moderators until proven otherwise incorrect.

1) Done.
2) Done.

Also, I thought I heard something about a thing called "irony". Did you know something about it?

Would you care to point out what you're alluding to? As near as I can tell, there have been no occurrences of irony thus far. (Beyond my use of near and far in a single, non contradictory sentence.)

Man, we have enough threads here being completely unhelpful. We don't need one that's unhelpful and being a dick about it.

It's right there in front of you - just look at all the threads that have a lock icon on them. They all happened today by the same mod in the space of 30 mins

Not everything is going to go your way. The threads aren't just for tutorials and how to's with sugar on top. If that's rude I truly wonder what you consider being a bully is. This is a thread to open people's eyes that FA is NOT responsible for those who neglected there personal information. If you can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

And they were all locked because they were either needless complaining with no point OR they were closed to funnel the conversation into one thread instead of having multiple threads saying the same thing.

It was nothing personal, there's no need to get butthurt because your spam threads were locked. I realize you don't care what I have to say, but use a bit of logic before you make statements like you have been. You're making things worse, not better.

As for the people who are blindly believing in what this person has to say, I suggest you look at evidence yourself and make your own conclusions. Never let them or anyone else make judgements for you.

I never called you a bully, love.
I'm just pointing out the fact that this thread is fucking useless and doing nothing but adding fuel to a fire.
