Dear Geir, Your account on 3D Realms 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: bla bla bla

Don't forget that the password is case sensitive. Forgotten your password? Use the link below:http://forums.3drealms.com/vb/login.php?do=lostpw

All the best,3D Realms Forums

Wow. I got this letter, and I knew that I would get some kind of warning after I tried finding my account (Ok, who switched it to Geir and didn't make it stay at cheater? doesn't matter.) but what really seems funny to me was that the ip address was given. Like, what's the point of giving out the attacker's ip address?

"Wow, I'm going to start pinging the attacker to see if he still exsists!"

*starts pinging self*

Um.. the point is so you could email that to us and we could find out who tried to login to your account by searching for that IP address on the forums.
