    Thanks Smyrl and (I assume) Shawn for taking quick action to restore my account after some boinktard managed to get my password..

    Would love to know how the hell that happened, now that I'm all paranoid and have 4 billion passwords to change all over the place. Since I know I didn't enter my DP login anywhere else (and not even here in a while, I didn't even know Shawn had reappeared LOL), just makes me wonder where the thief got it in the first place and what else they might have gotten, and how.

    Anyways, thanks again guys :D

    No worries. I have a nice little custom thing I made that let's hijacked accounts get handled with 1 click, so it wasn't that much work really. :)

    This was the user that did it though (in case you know them):

    Make sure you use a password that's unique to here.

    LOL happens that much eh? Geez.

    I figured it was probably that person (two of the sites in the signature belonging to the same person), no idea who that is though. Very weird.

    What is the proper channel or contact to get an account restored? I hadn't logged in to my DP account in a maybe a month and now I can't login or get the pass emailed to me, yet someone's logged into my account a few weeks ago. I have no idea how it happened either because I haven't been phished or any of my other web accounts accessed, and I use semi-unique passwords.

    I can't post the link to my profile due to this being a new account, so my username is "MrBrian".
