Not sure if I should be worried or not, but got this e-mail this morning...

well, somebody was trying to get into your account...they were from new zealand (or using proxy from new zealand)...as long as your password is somewhat complex, you'll be OK.

Password is complex, and I've even changed it to another pass... now only if I remember I've changed it!

I was playing a game yesterday, and another member threatend to hack into my account to steal my items. Whether or not he was bluffing, I haven't noticed any changes as of yet to the account... but it worried me when I woke up the next morning and got that e-mail!

When thinking of NZ though, I think of Scott or someone he or my sister knows in some way or another... I don't know though, but if the person(s) was smart enough he could have tracked me here (from the game), which is a bit creepy...

eh...well, I've taken care of probably about......a thousand IPs in NZ. If it happens again, let me know. Everything done here is logged, which makes it very easy to track people down :-) (especially for one of my favoritest members ;-)
