| Password cracked I just got my password changed by a person using this IP: 84.252.140.180 i can't log in or get my password changed! i am still getting the odd attempt from the hackers, I think it may well be the end of Global Games. It's getting filled with spam, edited posts, messy layout, 5-10 posts a day since badly hacked, 4 visits a day or something and its just going to consume to much of my time trying to fix it. Ah well, I have Stick Sanctum coming up and i won't to dedicate all my time i can to that.  I jusy don't think i could get it off the ground again. Being my first forum, i was happy of its progress.   | ||||

| It's always best to use non-dictionary combinations of letters and numbers. Whether you use "leet-speak" spellings or normal spellings, these are typically the first variations "hackers" attempt to use. Also, it's best to avoid using dates with meaning. So your birthday or celebrated holidays are out as well  .I am sorry to hear about your misfortune, however, and I do hope things will work out for the best in the end. | ||||
