That’s pretty sad. Most forums just kick your password back at you via email and leave you alone.
Not anandtech. They seem to think you really care about your forum reputation. If you don’t remember your password — and who does if you’ve posted once in the past five years — you have to answer some silly secondary questions, which supposedly you answered when you signed up. Well, I have little interest in pimping out my dog’s name, or my mother’s madien name, or whatever. After some guesswork I finally found the magic word. And no, it does not rhyme with duck, although perhaps it should. Never did guess my password, though.
The most hilarious part, though, is the whole transaction is performed unencrypted over HTTP.
And the point of this time wasting exercise was?
