Post Psycho Security
1. Why do I have to keep changing my password?
2. a mixture of capitals and lower case? Oh PLEASE!


It's just irritating!

I have to agree. Of the gazillion forums I visited this is the first and only one that forces you to use a capital and regular password change.
If this is a safety measure to keep the forum from being hacked then what would keep a hacker from making a new account and use that? :???:

A hacker would only be effective if they stole someone important's account, like last time. Thus, changing passwords every so often would be effective for that.

I don't mind having to use numbers and capitals, changing the password every 60 days is ♥♥♥♥ annoying...
I already forgot my current password anyway... I hope my coockies won't get deleted or something... Reseting passwords is a pain...

And its not like people get hacked EVERY SINGLE DAY (On this forum). It happens rarely...

It happened once. Not just rarely, but once.

qq, noobs.

Learn good password discipline. I have to change my passwords at work on a weekly basis, and use one of them little RSA dongles.

So how 'bout you stop crying and let WJ execute good system security.

That is all.
