Disturbing.

[Elements]

It has been less than a day since I created my account on here, and already I have gotten the following email:

Dear Elements,

Your account on x10Hosting Forums has been locked because someone has tried to log into the account with the wrong password more than 5 times. You will be able to attempt to log in again in another 15 minutes.

The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: Valde Games - Home

[...]

and another again 10 minutes later.

The ip listed apparently belongs to a game development team, and is running a webserver.



I rather hope someone is merely trying to be a jerk to me as a newbie.

The IP is actually the IP of this server; The way we have mod_rewrite setup the forum logins have the IP of the server. Someone has been trying to guess passwords or been doing it just to lock people's accounts for 15 min. I will look into the logs and make sure they are banned

Thank you kindly.
