Coding a forum of your own is not worth it security wise, time wise, money wise and useability wise.

Can't you read, it's an XSS exploit. I think that alone should make it obvious that it has no relation to the actual game (that is, unless you are using the same id\password for your forum account and maple account).

Yeah, I can read, and I apologize for not being a computer genius not knowing what an "XSS exploit" is. I read:

"We regret taking this measure, but because of the use of javascript within image meta tag being an increasing activity among hackers, we've taken this measure until we can verify that it poses no threat to our players."

and simply put two and two together. For us normal folk unfamiliar with internet language it would only make sense to do so. Also, btw, in order for you to post on Nexon forums, as far as I know, you use the same info as your maple account, which is your Nexon account info.
