Earlier quoted context omitted.

Ok, I've replaced the emails with a contact form instead (still working on the captcha). Also, the login is your url: HNHackers.com/username

Password reset still isn't working. It says an email has been sent, but emails aren't arriving. Also, from another comment, HN usernames are case sensitive, so making them all lowercase will most likely cause problems sooner or later.

Correction, password reset does appear to be working, it's just taking about half an hour for the emails to arrive.

Maybe a mail queue setting?

I'm already getting spammed by someone clearly targeting this demographic (not going to name them because I don't want to give them more eyeballs). I don't feel comfortable with you having scraped this data... I didn't mind entering data when it was a hard to find spreadsheet, but now my email is easily discoverable on this website and I'm annoyed.

Just got my first piece of spam from a site called newappidea.com. If any of you have anything to do with that site, please stop it.

Agreed. Got spam from the same site today.

I got the "Something went wrong" message when trying to update my profile.

edit I think the site logged me out before updating my profile, and then when I hit "update" (while logged out), that's what gave me the error. Might want to put a before_filter to make sure only logged in users can update stuff.
