Whatever you do, don't do this. If you are under serious attack, this is what people will be waiting for, for you to change your e-mail to an e-mail they have access to. (For example through shared passwords, forums you registered on elsewhere.)

No. The more threads are being made about this, the more it will happen. It's like me saying I don't like snowballs. If everyone in my street read I don't like snowballs, I'll be snowballed to death next winter. It's human nature to be annoying **Filtered**.




I'll update the boss anyway. It does seem to get out of hand, but it's not something the site can do anything about, really. You can't ban a specific IP from accessing your website. Most of the culprits who do this with malicious intent, do so from behind proxies anyway.

Re: possible hack attempt i think

It's one reason why the email address I use for GW is completely different and has nothing to do with my game identity. The email address I use for chatting on MSN with other players is nowhere near the one I use in-game, thus reducing the chance someone gets my credentials.

lol doubtful.... i'd be more concerned about changing his email address because he'd never get the activation email and his account would sit there being farmed and massed until Game Admins sort it out.....

When did mark last visit.... :-k ..... Jan 24th was his last post LOL.
