But they seem to have been in business since 1997, so I highly doubt that they'd fuck up the "never store passwords in plain text" rule.
Yeah, I was looking it up, and when I saw they've been selling this forum software since 1997 I was less confident about passwords being hashed. They address it in their forums and they're making it clear that the passwords are actually hashed, and they're looking at migrating to other solutions regardless.
That thread is from 2020, where they said they fixed the password send issue.

Image was taken immediately before posting. The issue, apparently, has since shown up again.
