It looks like the members that are disappearing are from hackers with new password hacking software... Change your password... Here's what Webmaster had to say...

quote:
Dear members it has just occured to me that recent disapearing members
information may not only be due to hackers and the introduction of the
new password hacking software.

quote:
Step 1. You must change your password and make sure it is not the same
as any password you use for any other internet account you have there
is a good reason for this and you will all have to just trust me on this
one as I do not want to loose any members due to recent hacking
incidents do not leave any information for username and passwords on your
computers and I also strongly recommend the use of url cloaking or meta
tags to protect your username from internet hackers.

"url cloaking or meta
tags to protect your username from internet hackers"?? I'm a techie and I don't understand what the heck they are talking about. How the heck do metatags provide protection?

Thats not good, the majority of CAC's lose a few members due to server problems, and normally thats what its put down to. Not many webmasters would think to check out if their lost members was down to a password hack. The PH ikonboard locks me out after 5 invalid password attempts, maybe webmasters could arrange to have a script like this made, it would stop accounts being removed, if this password software does exist, it would need more than 5 incorrect guesses to crack the password I presume. Alternatively we could come up with the same type of system e-gold has, a number displayed onscreen, where you type the numbers in that you see.

I've had Ian design me a few functions, like an automated redemption system, earnings transfer script, cheat detection. He sells these as add-ons, usually someone has to fund the creation of the script.

I will think more about this after I have got the automated redemption system. I'll make some queries, and i'll need some "cmi's" to make it cheaper on me, development wise.
