We all know the history of the site. What most don't know is how whistlestopper.com works. It would appear the person who attempted to break into my whistlestopper password does not know how it works either.
E-Mail from whistlestopper:
Dear Chosen,
Your account on Whistle Stopper Political Forums has been locked because someone has tried to log into the account with the wrong password more than 5 times. You will be able to attempt to log in again in another 15 minutes.
The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 98.16.162.51
Hummmmmmmmmmmm? Any experts out there to help me get a name off that IP address. I think that's a crime. I think I know who it is. I think I want proof.
Peace

THE BEST ADVICE AGAINS HACKING
If you were truly hacked, the hacker could claim ignorance and say they were simply trying to register or log-in.
Good luck with finding out if it was one of your NL neighbors. Not sure you ever will. Besides you and BB, I'm not sure any of us here have the interest or time to pursue something like that.
The best advice I have against hackers is to not do, say, or email anything you don't want shared with the world.
As ''Lilsmom'' here, and Val to a lot of you, I have nothing to protect on my computer, so hack away.
If you have something to hide? Then you should be concerned about hackers.
That's all...I'll stop preaching now.

True
But remember if they hack, they can speak for you as if you said it. Right BB?
