Hey everyone,

For some reason, there's been three incidents of members having their accounts 'hacked' because they didn't have a good password or didn't keep their password secret. This has happened before to members, but never three times in one week! Usually, it's like once a year...

Anyways, I wrote up a blog post about how to create good passwords.

Please read it because in the event someone does figure out your password, there's really nothing I can do about it.

Well as my msn was hacked I changed my password here too. Thanks for warning though.

Thanks for the tips, Nate!

Another good way not to get your account hacked is to always log out, if it's a computer anyone else uses.
