Site issue: Login Attempts

Hey I just tried to log in to my account (first time today) and it said "login attempts exceed maximum" and "please fill in secret code thing below"
I have not attempted to log in multiple times to my account, and I know my password.
Is there a site issue here, or is someone trying to log in under my username??
I am extremely worried about the impacts of having someone impersonate me on this forum

I recieved the same message/warning a couple of weeks ago. After discussing with Falco, we chalked it up as a random site bug, or as Jay of TardisDeli calls it "Electrickery". I was wondering if was maybe the leprechauns.
That being said, I just encountered it again when logging in to post this reply... kinda making me wonder...

Hmm. This thread is now a pink sticky. Has anyone else experienced this?

I keep getting logged out when I click on "view new posts" I don't know if this is relevant or if I'm doing something wrong!?

I had the same problem in Dec if you remember Falco.. My hunch is that it has something to do with trying to log in with my blackberry as I don't think I had a problem until after then.

Well, it happened to me last night. I typed in my info, like I have done since joining this club ~ and it told me that I should contact the administration if I have lost my password. So I did it again, this time taking special care to do everything right, paying close attention to what keys my fingers were engaging. Got the capcha.
Hmm.

Yep same thing just happened to me. The only thing I can think of is that I am on a public wi fi. But it has been working for the last 3 days at the same place.

Couple of time for me now! I thought it was my Iphone trying to connect via TouchBB (app for forum).
