Post Possible Gametrailers scam
Today, GT started asking me a user and a password in a separate pop up box. For the record i did not enter anything in it since i was already logged in. But since i have no idea what the hell is going on i thought id give you a warning. Here's a screenshot, time to learn some estonian :D

Nope, Parool = password, and Kasutajanimi = User

don't worry about it...looks like a cms password. Someone screwed up editing their site I bet and put one of the UI components in a directory that requires authentication. Certainly don't enter a username/password, but don't worry, I bet it's not a scam, just an idiot.

So I reckon Paroli is the genetive form of Parool?

Erm its kinda difficult to imagine a possessive parooli but it would still be with two 'o's.

Why couldn't a password be in the possessive?

'Insert your pasword'
'My password'

:)

But whatever, maybe Estonian doesn't even have declension, I don't know.

Minu parool = my password, no i at the end.
Sisestage oma parool = insert your password, again no i at the end

Kellele sa oma parooli andsid = who did you give your password to?, an i at the end.

Lesson over :D
