    I want to start a discussion about the safety of the forum

    because i got an email ike 2 hours ago about someone trying to get into my account.

    so it seems people just pick a name on the member list and see whos premium or not so they can see if they can get it.

    Anyone had the same thing? if so please say something about your thoughts.

    i haven't had it before, but i'm changing my passwork every month,

    i have no premium account or something, but still!
    normally, if you have a good password, they can't acces your account, because the forum send an email to the owner of the accounts email, and to no-one else!

    so don't be afraid, just make sure you have a hard password to crack!

    I've had this happen on 2 accounts lol, not a big deal as you just activate it with the email GR sends you.

    The e-mail saves you. I don't see how they could steal it unless they somehow guess your password correctly.
