Password expiry dates

Since people have been having problems with the password expiry dates, I've reset all of the password expiry dates for all active users to the year 2014. That should solve these problems.

Which, IMNSHO is ridiculous, everyone should change their passwords for everything every few months.

Tell that to the users here who've had expiry dates of 1971.

Way too much effort for something as relatively unimportant to me as internet foruming.

I don't think this board will be around in ten years. Everyone knows the internet is just a fad that will be gone any day now. Any day now...

Good, cause I think I'll lose it and kill someone if I see that damned password expiry popup again. That box was really beginning to piss me off.

Maybe that's why they're not posting...

Anyway, although I only got the message a few times, I can't help but laugh. What's wierder than getting a message that your password is going to expire in 2006, and it acts like it's an urgent matter?

Well that certainly solves the password problem for me.

2014. Wow. That means we get to change our passwords just before Marty McFly arrives from 1985.

Quick, let's get together and start plotting to steal his DeLorean.

I've had the same password for everything for a long time, so I'm not going to bother changing it this side of 2014- too much hassle. Besides, that's after the Mayans reckon the world will end, so it doesn't really matter.

All hail the glorious machines! And they won't kill me because I'm a trusted news celebrity, who can lead others to work in their underground sugar mines.
