The real reason for having passwords is to keep the riff-raff off the forum. I remember back 5 or 6 years ago when gaming message forums would often be filled with purile name calling and petty back stabbing.....

OK, this is just one more reason why not counting the posts on the OT is utterly futile.

Wiglaf: What Lefty was suggesting was that if someone else also uses your computer and e-mail, they could click on the "forgot your password" button and have the password sent to them via e-mail, and then post with your name.

Wouldn't that pre-suppose that Wiglaf have friends or even acquaintances?

[Guynemer]

And wouldn't THAT presuppose that Wiglaf isn't some EvC/CivNation/Bob Dornan DL?

My account was hijacked.

Maybe one of us sneaks into his house at night and uses his computer without his knowledge.

You sure it wasn't one of your multiple personalities? Jebediah, the religious fanatic?

Mods, before you close this thread please kindly put this little uprising to rest.

Yeah, Yeah Yeah. Put up or shut up EVC.

Now who has the panache to create a DL like EVC/Wiggy - only Bugs and JETW (now banned) - Which one can it be?

[MichaeltheGreat]

There's no real evidence of any "hijacking" or anything other than fun and games by perpetual attention seekers.

As for DL's, I can't be arsed to bother unless they're real clear, simple and obvious.

To be honest that might actually be possible. Thanks for the heads up, I'll investigate this possibility personally a little bit more in the coming weeks and days...

I'm not a DL, please PM the mods or wait for their response in this thread if you want to be sure.

OH COME ON. What a horrible moderator you are. Ten people have asked in the last week, how could you not be at least a little concerned about an answer? Look at it from my point of view, MtG. This senseless bad-mouthing is pissing me off, and so are you.

Wiglaf, being a moderator means not having to care what people think of you. Berating MtG only hurts your case.

Wiggy hurts his own case more than anybody else... He complains, insults people, whines, and then wonders why nobody takes him seriously... Gee, I wonder why

There was NO sign or PROOF of account hacking. And what's really funny was that he started a thread complaining that he was hacked and that somebody changed his password... and even posted a few more things in the thread... while sending me a email asking what his password was... anybody else see the problem with this
