Message boards question?
Do the administrators of a message board know your password? I'm a member of this message board and the administrators, moderators, and members are actually close (well, only those who have been there since the beginning) but I don't think it's right to ask them about that. Just curious cuz I asked the moderator to change my username but I think she forgot to do it so I asked the moderator to do it. And sometimes just for fun they use members' accounts to log in. But it's not a big deal (they've used mine once :D)for me.

If they have control over the database (MySQL) they can go to phpMyAdmin and see your password. The passwords are normally encrypted with MD5 but can be decrypted.
