This is nothing really alarming, but just as a precaution I am asking everyone who made their accounts before 2013 (I think september-october but just to be safe, before 2013) to change their passwords. No, there is no present threat of any kind, but I made a stupid decision in the past that could potentially cause problems.
I won't discuss it at all and don't ask, just know that I am doing this as a precaution.

Was due for a password change anyways. Had the same password for over 2 years.
-
But I'm terrible at remembering passwords..
-
how.

*Adds extra one to password*

Depending on your password scheme, given your password was x characters long before, the amount of time to guess it would be even greater if your password was 1 character greater.
Given the following variables:
a = 26 (value is 0 if no alphabet present)
n = 10 (value is 0 if no numbers are present)
s (shift + the numbers above the alphabet keys) = 10 (value is 0 if special characters aren't present)
The modified formula for guessing your password becomes (a + n + s) ^ (x + 1)

(8+1+0)^(8+1) ?

Is this even English?

o-o wat

That is super basic math. :D

Well I dont have a "super basic" mind

Changing your password isn't really required. The way SMF stores your password makes them quite secure, it was only a precautionary message of something that happened before 2013.
I will update the OP to make it more accurate.
