Attn Members: Passwords

[Celegorm]

For all of you who have pretty weak passwords, like "puppy" or "password" please go and change them now to something more secure.

We have had at least one known case of a hijacked account and I do not want any one else to get theirs hijacked. If you have any doubts that your password is secure, then it probably isn't.

Please do yourself the favor and go change your password now.

Usually having your account cracked on forums is because your a 'target' of someone. All the same, it would be safe to have a secure password.

Do not use any words that'd appear in a dictionary folks.. thats just not smart. And don't use popular combos like 111222333.

I'd recommend checking your password here, if your unsure:

You do have a point about being a target, but I'd rather not assume that no-one else on here is not targeted.

Thanks for the link, that will help out a lot.
