Thanks for the explanation, Lau.
My old password was 'islander'.
I don't think it would take that long to crack.

The new password is text from a highly technical webpage with spaces removed.

Maybe I should have left the rogue post in place for forensic reasons, but I didn't want to let it stand as the kind of thing I'd post.

I have my suspicions about the identity of the perpetrator - and in saying so, he will now realise that I do.

If it's not taken as being out of order, I can PM you with the identity of the suspect if you think it'll be of any forensic assistance.

The best way to deal with this is to look at the timing and IP addresses of MemberSix's post; and to have a look at the general nature of the material he's posted and his interaction with other members. There's no big mystery. Just a Troll.

I've noticed names on here all containing the number Six spelled out. SIXLUCY, PrisonerSix, MemberSix to name three. Are they all connected?

With the exception of MemberSix, they may be.

If not, it's just coincidence.
