I've just received 40+ emails from EMG telling me I have requested a change in password and I now have a new confirmation code, I have requested no such thing x.x, this happened to anyone else? Oh my old password works still, so I am just using that and usually I associate these kind of emails as spam, its just .... 40 of them? really?

Hey Bunnyboy,

Apparently what happens is that an email like that is automatically generated when someone tries to log on to your account and says they lost the password. I received 61 of them just a couple days ago and one a few days before that. I brought it to EMG's attention and he is looking into it.

All of the requests for a password change confirmation code that were sent to me were requested by someone at IP address 76.170.91.103. Were the requests generated and sent to you from the same IP address?

Sarnoga.

LOL, Not long after my last post I checked my email and found out that yesterday the same user generated another 133 of those messages. It reminds me of the forum spam that used to be generated by one particular user who isn't around anymore.

LMAO since I've posted this all of 10 mins ago, the poor virgin has started up again, I imagine he's got tired of masturbating after all these years but still enjoys repetitive movements XD

I will see about making some changes to the PW request system. Sounds like a bot of some sort and there's no reason to allow that many requests in a 24 hour period, let alone an hour or two.

I may consider that as the existing system is antiquated. Still, I have modified the system so that you can only request your password once every 4 hours as nobody need their password more than that :)
