      Just a heads up!
      Apparently this forum is being targeted. My account was locked out due to someone attempting login (which failed). Also from an IP in China. Might be because I haven't posted in quite a while, but not sure.

          This is not something new, behind the scenes hackers are always starting new accounts and trying to get in.

          They can and will try target accounts all the time, if someone says otherwise about some other site, they are not thinking clearly or look the other way.

          Thats why there is a 5 password limit. please make sure your passwords are strong and not something basic like rcboat or 12345
