Yes, some global moderators have been demoted, for security reasons until they come back after the hack.
If you don't mind me asking, what's the difference in the security of the accounts of the current staff members' accounts and the demoted ones? Or is it just the lesser number of staff members that could be hacked?

The price goes down to 0.25 BTC!
Still a bit on the expensive side. Has it participated in any sig campaigns?

Won't help, they'll just use multiple accounts.
Limit the amount of users a campaign can use and allow for only 1 account per IP to join a campaign How would they monitor and enforce that? The only people who actually have power over deciding that are the campaign owners themselves, and they can't care less about that.

The content of the email is the same as the official email from Theymos, and it probably is it. It just seems to have a few extra newlines. After I compared the two messages and removed the extra newlines, it was successfully verified using Theymos's key. This is the original message that is verified: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256
You are receiving this message because your email address is associated with an account on bitcointalk.org. I regret to have to inform you that some information about your account was obtained by an attacker who successfully compromised the bitcointalk.org server. The following information about your account was likely leaked: - Email address - Password hash - Last-used IP address and registration IP address - Secret question and a basic (not brute-force-resistant) hash of your secret answer - Various settings
You should immediately change your forum password and delete or change your secret question. To do this, log into the forum, click "profile", and then go to "account related settings".
If you used the same password on bitcointalk.org as on other sites, then you should also immediately change your password on those other sites. Also, if you had a secret question set, then you should assume that the attacker now knows the answer to your secret question.
Your password was salted and hashed using sha256crypt with 7500 rounds. This will slow down anyone trying to recover your password, but it will not completely prevent it unless your password was extremely strong.
While nothing can ever be ruled out in these sorts of situations, I do not believe that the attacker was able to collect any forum personal messages.
I apologize for the inconvenience and for any trouble that this may cause. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----

I would think that the old email address would be discarded to make room in the databases.

The pronunciation for English is moderately easy to learn, but extremely hard to master. That's why you see so many people with heavy accents.

I clicked on this thread because Algebra is my thing and I thought I'd help a guy out. Then, I read through that question at least 10 times before I gave up on it.

I like Chrome, just because others use it.
Sounds legit. In all honesty, Chrome's extension database surpasses every other browser by far. You want an extension? You've got it. No problem-o. Sure, it takes up a lot of memory usage, but you can customize it to any way you want. Can't find a theme you like? Just go ahead and create your own! It's actually quite big and takes up a considerable amount of memory usage (like I said before), but it's just so customizable.

Hackers are so sophisticated that they could probably sneak something into a normal link that you wouldn't EVER expect. An example? A lot of Steam hackers buy a domain that seems trustworthy, like google-snapshots.com (that link right there is one of the sites. Seriously, don't touch it.). Then, they create a directory that is labeled something like "screenshot-11-9.png" so that the link to it looks like a normal download link. PNG files just CAN'T contain viruses, so you go ahead and download it. Well, what really happens is you download a .exe file that is RENAMED as screenshot-11-9.png. Looks legit! You open it, and BAM! GG. So yeah, NEVER OPEN LINKS.

You have to realize that hackers hate BCT. They've been hacked and had long downtimes quite a lot in the history.

5 hours and 46 minutes. Because I'm a noobie. Total time logged in: 3 hours and 26 minutes. I forgot how much newbie hell sucks - one post every 6 minutes. I know, right? I just broke that barrier with 20 activity and now I can *finally* post every 70 seconds.

Blockchain. No fees and it's trusted by many people.

I heard that something called virvox can help you out on this, check them out.
They have really high fees that discourage many buyers. Personally, I think it'd be better to find a member who doesn't charge too many fees and buy from him.

all these campaign look like good .. but how they decide constructive post??
A post that contributes to the discussion and actually contains some helpful information.

BitcoinForum.com is a less active version of BitcoinTalk. I guess you could try going over to the marketplace over there, but since it's less active, you'll see less sales.

Maybe someone could close the thread instead of the same answer being sent out over and over again.

I use FreeVPS.us. You just enter giveaways to get VPSes and then it's just a matter of posts per month to keep it.

I wish you could stop spamming for your board to get free advertising.

Personally, I liked the second one a lot more. The background music is more intense, which to me is more fitting to the similarly-intense content of the video. The first one just has some kind of music that relaxes me; which doesn't seem very fitting at all to me. It starts out with some violin music!
I watched it on a basic-issue Samsung headphone set.

I wish mining was still like what it was when the poster was probably made.
