    Because of the Heartbleed thing?

    Someone could hack my account and start banning everyone. :pimp:

    Think of the potential damage.

    I have put in years of effort to achieve the board reputation I have today. Any hacker who subverts my upright rep as a real standup guy will answer to me.

    No. But I wouldn't use the same password you use here on any other site. Best practice.

    With the mod permissions i have, my account isn't worth hacking.

    I worry little about your account getting hacked here. I worry a lot that you use the same credentials for your banking accounts, stock trading accounts, online commerce sites, etc.

    Very few accounts have been hacked here, most seem to be the hacker guessed the password. Including a mod or two.

    There's not much damage that can be done via this site. We don't employ SSL anyhow, so the bug never affected us.

    I pretty much only changed my account passwords that are tied to my bank accounts (banks, paypal, ebay, amazon, etc). But I also changed my email passwords and Facebook.
