I don't even have access to the email I signed up with anymore I don't think. If something happens to my account I'm fucked.
Someone in Toronto.
I had to check my own ip to make sure I wasn't hacking OP.

Interesting. Though sometimes I have difficulty with my password where my memory isn't working or my typing skills are unusually terrible (I do have some delays in motor coordination).
Someone in Toronto.
So someone is just sitting in a park, getting worked up over a post you made (I'm guessing, I'm not going to go into your post history for this), wanting to take revenge and trying to guess your password.
From a park.
For some reason that mental image is very funny to me. Unless you have Gaf Gold these accounts can't exactly be worth much.
Ok... this was pretty good
Probably enjoying some Banjara Indian Cuisine right now, the rotter!

Whew, Glad that's over. Bullet. Dodged.
That's not how it works. A ISP IP will just display a spot within the reported city.

I'm assuming anyone can take a screen name and just attempt passwords every 15 minutes until they are blue in the face.
Scary thing is, perhaps it's not a member you pissed off, just someone reading the forums.
Edit: idk, don't think posting peoples IP's and possible locations is the smartest thing, all it takes is one loon to be the GAF hero, even if it's just some troll,
just change your password to some letters and numbers OP

No idea if this has ever happened to me because the email I used to sign up for GAF doesn't exist anymore.

I've had this happen to myself a few times on other forums. Luckily, my password is strong enough that guessing it/brute forcing it isn't ideal. I've also seen people's accounts, both normal member and mods, have their accounts compromised this way. People need to up their password game.
You can geolocate off an IP address, the park location is probably pretty accurate.

Scary? Or just an extremely low level prank?
Yeah this is actually true for me. Signed up with my university mail. That was years ago, doesn't exist now.

Really wouldn't mind if gaf had two factor. I'm sure there are plugins for VBulletin or Invision, whatever gaf is using.
Jesus, just did a search for vBulletin plugins. It's like stepping back into 2010.
