    Oh man,
    couldn't get into the forum the past few days.

    Then I got this in the email. Scary man.
    Only found it out after i tried to get in, my first attempt some more.

    The IP address doesn't look like a local one... Seems like someone is trying to hack into your account...

    What is purpose is there to hack into this account.

    Ok in-case he/she is successful, I better say its first, "I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, it wasn't me!" haha

    Yes, it's a MaxOnline Acount, and our IP log shows that many people.. including Giant, and myself has logged in from that IP before.

    Giant, you said you couldn't get into AQ the last few days. Can you elaborate what you mean by that? When is the email dated/timed? Is it the same time that you tried to login?

    Hi Admin,

    Basically when I tried to sign in, I could not log in to the forum.
    Kept getting my 5 times of user password thingy has been used up & that I would be able to try again in 15 mins time.
    So I waited about 15mins or more, but still couldn't get in.
    So the weekend was kind of like that, couldn't get into the forum, till sometime in the late afternoon on Monday.

    Hi Giant,

    The line I bolded... that triggered the email. The email is sent as a precaution, in case it is a real hacking attempt.
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    Hi Vinz,

    thanks for the clarification, I'm not worried about the email.
    Just that was finding it strange when I got this message when I tried to log in on my 1st attempt & this has never happened before.
    Maybe once or twice, but certainly not 5 times getting my password wrong.
    But all is good now
