# Enter ? for additional hints on searching ARIN's WHOIS database.

An Admin anyone else on the forum from that ip? If so tell them to quit it bc I have to reset my pass when they guess wrong 5 times, and its super annoying.

It seems to be a internet wide attack on forums. We are aware of several other forums being targeted as well. We have taken some action to limit the issue.
