Got an email saying someone attempted to log into my account at least 5 times and was locked out. Didn't know if this was something the Admin would like to know about, the IP address was 188.143.232.144. Looks like they are from St. Petersburg Russia.

I'd send a PM to admin if you haven't already.
 
I don't know if it's related or not, but yesterday I was away from the computer for a few minutes and when I came back I noticed that I had to log back in. I wasn't gone long enough where it would have been necessary to relog. So I log in again and notice that there were only five users and five guests, when just moments prior the board was full of members and guests. Almost as if everyone got booted at the same time...
 
I've heard this happening a lot on forums lately, always from Russia.

Just make sure you change your password once in a while, and keep it complex.
 
Happened again, someone must really want into my account.
 
Heh, that's the funny part.. what could they do with your account anyway? It would be just like if they registered their own account. lol
