Hello,
I just wanted to warn people here as I was apparently just banned from the smart bot website (sb-forum.com).
I purchased a lifetime key for SmartBot over a year ago. I logged into the website today to download the latest version and all of my access to the site was revoked other than the public forum for non-owners of SB. They claimed there were changes to "help protect users" and we had to contact Wirmate(the owner/dev) to have our old keys converted to new keys and get our access to the forum put back. They never emailed existing users, made a sticky post or anything. They just took access away and expected you to go digging to find out how to get it back. I kept asking how any of this actually helped protect the users and I got generic responses like "it's better for everyone" but no real explanations.
Then the bigger issue I noticed and posted about that apparently got me banned. THE SITE HAS NO SSL! I noticed it wasn't SSL but figured at least the login portion would be SSL right? NOPE, WRONG. I opened up wireshark and logged into the site, and right there in plain text was my password. So be warned. They apparently ban paying customers for pointing out security flaws also.
