why not to use your same password on forums as in game

I just discovered something while running a forum on my website. There's a really easy way to duplicate every e-mail that goes out from the forum and send it to my account, since I'm the admin. That means when an e-mail goes out right after you join and you configure it to include a "here's your username: here's your password:" block, the admin can get a copy of that sent to them and read your password. They already have your in game name so all they have to do is plug it in to SRO and take all your stuff. Now I'm sure the nice people that run this site wouldn't do that but still, have a forum password and have a game password. Things work out much better that way.
