• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    Bad Week For Console Sales

    No kidding, if I could *find* a WII I'd have purchased one. But apparently retailers don't know when they are ever getting any.

    What exactly is port forwarding and do I need it?

    A quick example of port forwarding is this. Say you want to run a webserver behind your router. This server will probably have an internal IP address (i.e. 192.168.1.5) Obviously people can't directly access that internal webserver from the outside. So what you do is configure your...
