Is there an rough guess when the intruders gained access?

As far as I can tell/guess, if a user didn't login in that period of time the perpetrators could not have gotten his password.

OK, looks like I over-reacted. I'm sorry!

This lead me to think that

During this time the forum database was accessed and as such, passwords (which are linked to your email address) used for forum accounts have been compromised.

If the they are hashed (with a good hash function) and salted then it's safe to say that they are not compromised.

Anyway, I just learned something from all of this. Got to get a better way to generate/manage passwords.

Are you kidding me?! You kept my password in clear text?! WTF?!
