Simon,,,, are you sure you have all your socks in a row? Maybe they try to log into your SOP with their own passwords while not realizing who they are trying to be.

Sounds like classic schizophrenic multi personality disorder to me.

sounds like you dont know what the fuck you are talking about...

Yes, I got locked out of Eplaya friday night, with the too many log in attempts message. I was also locked out of another site with almost the same message. I haven't been able to get back onto that other site with my personal computer, but can with my work computer, so I'm thinking that my problem is computer related...

Interesting...im at like three different sites have been locked out of two.. Each with sep. Computers and ips.

Methinks its simple vandalism, but would like to keep tabs of time and date for the sys admin to investigate.

Some may question the use of public forum for this but i have my reasons.

It only happens if you try and FAIL to log in. Use the wrong password 6 or 7 times in a row and you'll see what happens.

Hi Dork,
yeah, I knew what would happen if I used the wrong password.....I was testing, to see if some sort of "counter" might be malfunctioning, counting my log ins against me, even if they were correct.

Hey, you wouldn't by chance have some app running on a cell phone or an old computer (maybe one that got stolen or "lost") that regularly logs in and checks web pages for new postings, would you? Maybe it is configured with an old password.

i see, so one should be looking for a cheesy orange residue on keyboards, huh?


the only problem is if some oompa loompa from New Jersey has been typing, the orange taint could be paint...

I confess.

It was me.

I only wanted to drive Simon's account long enough to plonk some people so I wouldn't have to see one side of his fruitless arguments any longer.

I'm sorry.

I've learned my lesson. Really.
