Besides - if you suspect a script kiddie, try letting one of the admins know, tell them that you've been getting repeated notices of attempts at your account, and see if anyone else you know has as well. If they do, the admins could look into the ping rates. If there's any that are higher than usual, and are consistently getting IP banned for periods of time (not hard to tell because then the pings would stop for that period of time, and then would start up again, or would continue trying and just not succeeding), they can probably find the person.
They said just make a long strong password and hope, effectively.
That's... depressing.
Sysadmins should have more power than that confused

The likelihood of a brute force script working on Gaia are slim. You get IP banned when you make too many failed attempts on a password, and that's what the scripts do.
That's, sadly, not the case.
If I ran a script trying to BFI my way to passwords, I'd first run it through TOR. Every attempt to BFI the password would, first, reroute the IP address to a new one of the many thousands of IP addresses TOR has at its disposal.
Here's the difference, Cu.
You and I aren't script kiddies.
A lot of kids that get their hands on programs they don't understand and yet feel the need to go on power trips? Don't even know what TOR is, let alone how it works.
Nice try though blaugh

You can avoid such problems by having a long, complicated password. No words, just a combination of lowercase and uppercase letters and numbers. I don't know if this site lets you use symbols like & and #, but if it does, consider using those as well. Write the password down (don't save it to your computer) until you can memorize the key locations. All of my passwords are location memorized like that, and I've never been hit. Hell, I can't even remember my passwords sweatdrop I couldn't tell someone them for the life of me, I would have to type them to know it because the pattern of movements are what are memorized to me.
Actually, I use Firefox and its password keychain to save all passwords, so you can make them as complicated as you like.
Nyom nyom, disempowering the self biggrin
I'd consider it, but I'm poor.

Ummm Error, Firefox is free. See? Mozilla/Firefox
