    Is the forum under attack?

    Since about 2 weeks I'm regulary unable to login and I get this message:
    Click image for larger version.  Name: Capture.png  Views: 199  Size: 5.7 KB  ID: 2689
    I'm pretty sure that I have always typed the right password.

    I have the same impression. Many times I haven't been able to login because forum engine told me I exhausted the failed login quota albeit I have't logged in for a few days.

    It is a slow bruteforce attack from spammers. Fixed.
