1) Dont EVER give out your pass. 99% of the so called "hackers" just learned your password from you or someone else you told your password to.
2) Dont have your pass related to anything stargate, your username, your email, or even interests. Try to keep it something thats seems random, but may mean something to you personally.
3) If you follow the two above steps, no one can "hack" your account in sgw, but another thing to do is register at yahoo or hotmail or something for a new email address, change your email to that, and dont tell anyone that new email. The email is also needed to log in, and there are too many possibilities for someone to bother with that. But, if you use your personal one that everyone knows about, thats one less thing one has to bother with

4) Just a general password tip: there are 4 types of characters: lowercase (a), uppercase (A), numers (1), and special (&). Sgw itself it not case sensitive, so that leave 3 character types to use for your pass. Use each type at least once in your pass. And in general password making, use all 4 types. Only 8-14 characters at most are needed if you follow these 4 rules.
