Zero chance - passwords are double encrypted with a one way encryption system.

It does appear that these were somehow sent to the e-mail addresses that people have on the forum. We have checked the server out and found nothing that would indicate how they might have been obtained. It also does not appear to have gone to everyone, only a select number.
Just in case, I spent some time earlier today changing all our database and server passwords.
Another thing we can't tell is how old the addresses they appear to have used are - it could be that they date from a month or more ago, making it almost impossible to ever know how they may have been obtained.
Basically we have investigated as much as we can, and taken all the measures we can think of. I can 100% assure everyone that we have not willingly, or knowingly, given anyones forum e-mail address out to anyone, nor will we do so in the future.
