You might have noticed, while logging into the forums, a message to the effect of "Too many login attempts," and asked to solve the forum's CAPTCHA question. If you've seen this message, your account is one of the apparent many that was involved in a recent attempt to brute-force passwords to the ZDoom Forums. Your account may or may not have been accessed, and a handful of old, abandoned accounts have been used...pretty much just to post stupid crap. If you have never seen this message, then you should assume that your password has been compromised and it is only a matter of time before your account is hijacked for shit posting.
Whether you've had this happen to you or not, it is highly recommended to change your passwords and secure them. I recommend a very long one, going by this guide, and testing your password's strength against known cracking algorithms with this tester. If any other accounts use the same password as your ZDoom Forums account, please change those as well, preferably to something different.

If you are a returning user and find that you have been warned or banned for something you did not do - OR if you are getting a message that your account has been "deactivated" - you may email me about it at wild PERIOD weasel ATSIGN gmail PERIOD com (you should know what to replace those all-caps words with, I hope).
