So the good news is my new job is going well, the bad news I have learned not to trust gmail. Up until one week ago I was fine, now my password has been changed on all 3 of my gmail accounts I would be fine for 2 weeks if you know all my emails didn't just get up and vanish, so i log out and oh look my password has changed. All I can say is WTH... I have contacted gmail through email and still am waiting to hear back, looks like its time to change to hotmail or something actually secure. I was reading about how many flaws gmail had in the past year and was surprised about all the exploits, there must be a new one, go figure. Anyways this is what i get from trying to switch to gmail from the email client where i don't go to college anymore....
The person who keeps requesting to change my NS forums password can feel glad the opassword has changed, which is amazing since I never actually used any of the 20 password change requested passwords, which leads me to believe its the same person exploiting my gmail accounts, i might be wrong but this seems to stand to reason.
On, a side note ...... For the record I'm male, it even says it in my profile, Ive used Nurot since 1994 for gaming, never seen another and The Prophet I also use and is in my profile for my aim name, pretty big coincidence don't you think? If its just a coincidence good, if not which it doesnt seem so *you know who you are* PLEASE die in a fire..... Thanks

or, if you use google accelerator it can get you into 'saved pages' from other users <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> quite screws with forum permissions.
gmail search?
keylogger?
pc got physically aboosed?
The fact that its the only thing they have accessed of mine ever, and they havent messed with my other email accounts, they certainly would have more fun with those. Also tell that to the people who have had their email accounts ganked over the past year before gmail allegedly fixed each incident.

Should have chosen shamanmail, gmail sucks in pvp.
As your PW has already been compromised, could you tell us what it was?

Ignore him, he doesn't realize that in order to be a 1337 h4x0r you need to TRICK someone into revealing their pw.
Silly nub. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
(What is the password anyway?)
Well, he originally chose system, since it's a secure Windows folder, but he chose system1 to add a number and make it even more secure.

Roffles.
Aren't you supposed to think of something that no one would think of?(Then add crazy numbers at the end of it for the hell of it.)
I dont think its gmail, and its not completly your fault, just use bigger better passwords, and check for key-logers/trojens

nogard
n064rd
As a note, that was the PW I came up with when some one wanted something secure but easy for a bunch of geeks to remember.
done. (and if the PW will accept any character |\|064r|) hehe)
I did have secret1 as my email pw for the longest time...
The email server got reset and I never bothered (aka didn't know how to in linux) change it back.
... And you think its GMail's fault?
If I had to guess, I'd put my money on you using the same password here you do for GMail, and they got your forum password first, then got into your gmail account.

No, here is what I know, my gmail account passwords keep resetting themselves and any account with emails I had with said accounts suddenly the passwords have changed. in happened in, gmail went first and they have yet to get my other accounts and school email not associated with gmail and no my passwords were not the same.

Some one managed to get your GMail password. I'd guess it's due to a keylogger. Or, someone could have socially engineered you.
(it just sounds so dirty!)
And I still wana know what your old PW is.
And my bet is that it is some one who knows you and guessed your PW
