OK Gang.

x89 was the final number.

User vietcious, who joined 7/26/2011 from an IP in LA Area, has sent 89 PMs overnight.

If we didn't had the PM flood measures in place - it would have likely been more.

We purged those PMs from everyone's Inboxes.

What most likely happened here - this is probably legitimate user, whose password got hacked - there's been an increased amount of random login probing attempts. The account is banned now - if the person contacts us, we may lift the ban... Once we change the password.

So - MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A STONG PASSWORD IN PLACE.

We've been thinking about enforcing strong passwords for everyone, forcing everyone to change it periodically.
But that would increase the amount of users that are having problems registering, as well as problems resetting their passwords.
Which would put a strain on our already limited volunteer resources.
And plus we'd have to listen to a number of you whine...

What do you guys think, how much of an inconvenience would it be if you log on one day and the forum forces you to change your password, and enforce a complex password?
