ChippyTime has been the subject of a lot of recent discussion, some of which is accurate and much of which is wholly untrue. Running anything online involves disputes and gossip, but the truth is what matters. Here’s what’s actually happening.

Let’s dispel the major rumors that, despite our repeated reminders that they are unsupported by any evidence, persist.

“ChippyTime Uses an OpenAI Free Trial” is the first claim.

Incorrect. Free trials have a short lifespan. ChippyTime cannot function with something that has been shut down for a long time. Our services are powered by legitimate, paid infrastructure. I always have.

“ChippyTime Is Using Someone Else’s OpenAI Account” is the second claim.
Not true, once more. We don’t take advantage of someone else’s subscription. Without any concrete proof, the rumor continues to circulate. It is simply inaccurate and has no supporting evidence.

“ChippyTime Is Based in Romania” is the third claim.
No, not at all. ChippyTime is based in the United States. If you’ve read or heard something different, it’s simply untrue.

Stay away from what you hear in online forums or Discord channels in favor of official company sources for accurate information about us.

“ChippyTech Hosts an HTML-to-Base64 Service” is the fourth claim.

Not true either. ChippyTime and ChippyTech have never operated a hosting service for Base64-encoded HTML content. People claim it, but no proof has ever been shown. Most likely because it doesn’t exist.

“ChippyTime Stores Passwords in Plain Text” is the fifth claim.
Completely untrue. We are serious about password security. We make advantage of PHP’s password_hash() function, which was designed specifically to keep passwords secure and hashed rather than displayed in plain form. Storing plain text passwords is not a good security practice, and that has never been our strategy. Hashing is.

Rumors remain just that—rumors.

False Information Affects the Community

We frequently witness instances of misinformation and false information spreading around the community. Inaccurate information can occasionally be taken as true by novice users, particularly if it is repeated frequently. That merely fosters an atmosphere in which rumors gain more traction than real corrections.
