Future of Graalians.com
 

Well I am the owner of graalians.com now since Velox walked away after what happened. So now I have this nicely scripted website on my webserver that I don't want to flush down the toilet. So I have thought of a few options and I would like the opinion of all you graalians.

1. Re-open the website with a reminder when signing up NOT to use the same password from your e-mail/graal account and at the end of the user regristration have a note repeating it and press okay to confirm.

2. Re-open the website and force all users to change passwords, wouldn't do much really.

3. Re-open the site and on user regristration have the site give a RANDOM password (could be annoying but it would work).

4. Leave it closed.

* Other options are welcome.

Some people are mixed up and think that Velox "HACKED" graal account and paypal accounts. The truth is he allegedly put a worm in the login form itself which sent him the passwords with accounts and he simply logged in the e-mail accounts from there. Before Velox left the site he removed the form which sends passwords to him, I made sure of this. Passwords were always encrypted, the only way he got the passwords was the worm, so without that there is no way of getting anyones GRAALIANS.COM password. The website is considered safe, nothing really can go wrong as long as every user uses a different password from their e-mail/graal account.

And if Stefan reads the thread it would be nice to hear your opinion about this too.

Another Note:
Don't be dumb and just turn this into a common flame thread, this is about graalians.com reopening or not. Opinions are welcomed but stay on the subject.

Random password generator. It was a neat site that shouldn't go to waste.

I'll help with it if you want.

Random password generator for great justice.

I still need to get my vip.graal.net site working, but can't quite figure it out. -_-

I'll help aswell, i have expiernce with PHP and HTML scripting.

Definately the random password creator. Even if the worm was still there, velox would essentially then have a useless password that wouldnt help him at all.

A worm? What?

Just put the site back up? As long as you are not going to steal password from the login form, what could happen?

Re-open it, put in the random password, filter all the crap on it. ^^

What happens when...over time...there are possible people promoted to run the site? Velox was a trustable guy...and look what happened.

What i would do is just make a frontpage form and make the contents of it emailed to an email..

what happens... if i.... put.... a warning sign... that says.... DONT USE YOUR E-MAIL/GRAAL PASSWORD... and it... never happened?

The random password idea looks to be the winner so far, but im still waiting for more opinons.

Re-open and force the users to change their passwords.

Random pass is the best way. It is fairly easy to do also.

I like the random pass generator.
