As LinchpiN said, they never got reset. Hardly anyone could be bothered to set a valid e-mail IIRC, though that's all history now...
Of course, what it amounted to was that about 70% of the members hadn't logged on in 200 days or more, so they wouldn't have seen the password reset warning, and that there was in my opinion a very strong correlation between not logging on and not posting. Wayne feared that he would have to reset about 1000 passwords manually: I think that that is a gross overestimate. I presented my argument
here (second-to-last contribution to the discussion) but unfortunately it never got a reply. But in the end, yes, the thing is entirely academic now.
