Why? They'd still have everyones password and e-mail at the end of the day.
it's not that simple actually if it's a reliable site haha
in which case passwords r usually encrypted so the admins can't see them, and thus the only way to fetch a forgotten password is through the link @ the login page + resetting it

That might be, but once you get your acc and the password, you get to change password and email. They are a legit comapny with no motivations to scam people that way? It's literally the most ineffective way for them to take advantage of this situation.

you might get to, but u would b surprised how many people don't
the username tier is only an extra ladder to leech money from ppl. and like. if u believe in their campaign, then the site is supposed to launch next month (note: as someone who does coding i doubt they will). why not wait?

If they need 35k euros to fix the missing code I’m gonna say they are gonna be missing a chunk but then again I doubt they needed 35k

they need money to keep the server running and pay employees  if running a website was cheap then gsm wouldnt have been closed in the first place

with all the stuff that has been discussed in this thread i have very few reasons to trust the company. then again, i'm very anti-corpo due to all companies recently raising their prices to kick the low earning ppl's asses, so any tricks like locking usernames behind a paywall makes me furious. they are quite literally preying on ppl's nostalgia driven hype w that kinda bs, someone here only a few pages ago posted abt how someone is spending the money they should've put on food in this project instead

parts of the code only do so much when the site even according to their own words is in no shape to run currently. with that said it's likely that they have the easiest bits of the code on hand, and thus have to somehow build the roughest code from scratch in time to be delivered on december, which would take immense amounts of crunch which in return depending on how many devs they got on board can b extremely taxing on their mental health. there's very few positive things i have to say abt all this, if any

they're supposed to have all that momio money, no? if we are to believe an established, several years old company has no funds to kickstart a site, it sounds rly fishy to me

but why would the higher ups in the company even be interested in relaunching gsm when it could potentially make them lose money

thats why they make us fund it

gsm isnt coming back because they think its going to make them rich its coming back because we are paying for the costs

there's been an ongoing campaign within the norwegian gsm-community for years to relaunch gsm, so it might need a kickstart becasue the company doesnt have the liquidity to run the site at this time. specualting does us no good, but i mean, im not gonan disagree with what youre saying, i dont have enough information to base my assumptions of. :)

i also work in tech and i'm definitely in agreement with you. seems like a cash grab and if they do deliver a functional website by december, i'm guessing there will be bugs and insecure code all over the place. things have drastically changed with coding and tech in the past 10 years 

and paywalling usernames before the site launches is the dumbest bs i've heard

kinda share this sentiment. It feels like trying to reanimate a corpse at this point.

i mean i was super mega excited at first when they started hinting at it but now because of how they have dealt with everything, it has just made me so disappointed i barely look forward to it at all
