Hi guys, could we get back to the main issue here please?

There are two different types password sites- those simply with listings, which are usually set up by the big players to pull traffic, and community forums that have a lot of interaction amongst the users. The first is easy to deal with, if your site is compromised on one of them, you simply ask to be left alone and they won't use any username/password pairs from your sites anymore. In fact, the one and only time I had to deal with a password list site, the fellow was quite apologetic about the whole thing and offered to pay for any bandwidth overages I might have incurred from the listing.

Community forums are another thing entirely. Because of the interaction within the group, supplying more compromised passwords and stolen content becomes a way to make a name for oneself. This is definitely a huge problem and the question is: How do we deal with these community forums that have gone this direction?

My position is that, as a community itself, GFY should not condone messing with them directly. Post the URL of these places and let us know where they're at, yes. Bemoan the fact that they exist, yes. But if you're planning to attack these communities and brag about it, do it off the forums. Otherwise, a couple of reckless hot heads are going to bring unnecessary heat down on not only the forums and everyone participating here, but onto Lensman and adult.com as well.
