Well, as I wrote in a comment to another thread, at PixandVideo, though they have on the site that you have access to 46 sites in the network, the number of sites in the drop-down menu and the list of "Websites" is 44 - one of the "secret" sites is Gapeland - and you can access it only by going through recent scenes and clicking on one of the scenes from that site, then following that back door to check out the site itself.
I "assume" that there is another such secret site that PixandVideo members have access to - and isn't that a wonderful change to the database? Whoopee!!

Doesn't look so far as if we're the beneficiaries of this change, as they imply in their announcement.

I guess this reasoning is a bit off. "Guessing" a password is not something that often happens with total strangers... the majority of password theft is done through keyloggers, and if you already have a harmful program which provides a backdoor to your computer, an additional username won't save you.
But even if someone would 'guess' your password; logging on from multiply IP-addresses will force our security to generate a new password and send it to YOUR email address. Similarly, if he requests a new password, it again will send to YOUR mailbox. So the hacker have to hack your email address and your account at the same time to have easy access to the websites. Sounds like a lot of fuss.
And one more thing. We log every events, every actions which happen to your account. If you poke us that you have problems, we can easily identify you, track back the problem and solve it.
About the changes. I don't want to spoil the surprise, but I'd ask you to be patient... this is only the very first step to introduce a lot of comfort and fun stuff, a cornerstone, so to say. So please don't judge too early :)

Thanks for cluing me in, Sandstone. I knew that hacking an account is not done through guessing that's why I put it in quotation marks. :-) I did, however, enjoy the glimpse you give us when it comes to the workings of a site re. security, so thanks for that as well. Looking forward to the changes.

And the issue with the "secret" sites? The sites coming off the drop-down menu and the detailed list of sites? What's the issue there?

That is, as you mentioned, an issue indeed :) We are working on it, I'm pretty sure that in the very near future it will be alright.
