Can the guy who is trying to guess my password please go do something else. I get an email back each time you fail and its becoming tedious. Any one else getting the same treatment?
Many thanks :)

Yep, I just received six emails telling me my password too. I just fired off an email to the renderosity staff about it.
MadYuri posted Thu, 14 March 2002 at 7:01 AM
Now I'm feeling underrated, nobody tries to guess my password. ;P

Phil I've been getting them in blocks of 3 emails at a time. Interestingly enough after the 1st set, (just as a kneejerk reaction :-), I changed my password but continued to get emails with my old password.

received 6 emails also...

ditto here, 6 emails

what are you all talking about? someone is emailing you with your password inside the email. way to much time on their hands. Sharen
SAMS3D posted Thu, 14 March 2002 at 7:23 AM
oooops never mind, I know what you are saying I just got 6 emails myself. Says it comes from here Renderosity. Sharen

It says it is sent by:Received: from host1.bondware.com

I got 6 emails too. Sigh.

seems to be a rosity problem... I thought someone was trying to hack my account but it seems to be some glitch in the rosity servers.... Caro
Impudicus Rex posted Thu, 14 March 2002 at 7:27 AM
It's a glitch. So I've been told. No need to worry. Umm... is your password 'hot2trot'? No? Dang! :)~
Larry F posted Thu, 14 March 2002 at 7:47 AM
Yes, I got exactly six myself. Must be a glitch!
Larry F posted Thu, 14 March 2002 at 7:49 AM
But someone could still be trying to hack passwords. It's happened before.
melanie posted Thu, 14 March 2002 at 8:08 AM
I have six of them, too. I thought it wsa probably a glitch. Melanie
pdblake posted Thu, 14 March 2002 at 8:11 AM
6 here too...
shadownet posted Thu, 14 March 2002 at 8:12 AM
Ditto. Got six so far
shadownet posted Thu, 14 March 2002 at 8:14 AM
Hey, with all these 6's turning up, maybe it's the devil - either that or Legume. :O)
arcady posted Thu, 14 March 2002 at 8:21 AM
I got them too. Interesting. I suspect one of two possibilities: 1. A bot is trying to hack the renderosity server for somebody. 2. The server has an accidental bug of some sort.
Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.

Got the 6 things too .. Was wondering what was up.

I haven't gotten any of the emails but I've noticed that Rosity has really gotten very slow in loading anything lately
starmkr posted Thu, 14 March 2002 at 8:49 AM
Got the 6 pack as well...

Hmm. Six here too.

It would be kinda stupid to hack in when all you gotta do is apply....this isnt a pay site after all. And it seems unlikely that someone would have malicious intent (ie. posing as someone...including me) since "they" seem to be after any name....I too think its a glitch....(but I changed my password anyway) Scarab
JOE LE GECKO posted Thu, 14 March 2002 at 9:16 AM
6 mails ... may be a Renderosity problem. Either it's a technical issue, or someone doesn't know what to do with its spare time :) joelegecko
RealitysPoison posted Thu, 14 March 2002 at 9:17 AM
I would be bound to think it is a glitch. I actually forgot that I had a login at work that another employee had used while he was here, until I checked my work email and I got the "6" reminding me of my password. Checked my regular email to and got the 6 for this one as well. Was kind of worried for a moment, but if everyone else is getting them, I guess I won't fret. Can't really imagine someone trying everyones logon 6 times, especially the ones that aren't in use and they haven't seen for over a year and a half.
SubTen posted Thu, 14 March 2002 at 9:18 AM
i ONLY got 5 of them .. ;) maybe some sort of error in the mailing of the site...?
Deberus posted Thu, 14 March 2002 at 9:19 AM
6 here too! What' s up!

And I got a sixpack of them also. Perhaps the two who are at this link will find and sort out the culprit.

dragongirl posted Thu, 14 March 2002 at 11:16 AM
Perhaps those that only got 5 (I got 6 too) should write and complain to Renderosity to fix the hack/glitch so it works RIGHT for them. :-) Seriously - I am a bit concerned about a hack - people don't do it necessarily for commercial reasons, sometimes just to mess things up for fun and to see if they CAN.

I too have recieved such e-mails. 6 of them at 8:53 a.m., and 6 of them at 9:40 a.m. Apparently I have two accounts (?). I sort of forgot about the old account till now. "HEY RENDEROSITY STAFF", hehehe, "Wuz up?". Me thinks there's a glitch, (or a ghost), in the machine. Well I guess it could have been worse. They could have e-mailed our user:pass to somebody else. Take it easy yall, -proteus-

Scarab - If it is a Hacker, they may be attempting to access your previous purchases... I have been able to "re-download" my old purchases (thanks be to R'Sity for that feature!)... For the record, I got my 6 as well.. (Oh, I feel so loved... ) hehehe Seriously, I hope it's just a bug... I'd hate to think we're being hacked.... -Lee

I got 5 or 6, didn't count. So happy to a member of this exclusive club ;} I hope this isn't the work of somebody with way to much time on their hands....
Crescent posted Thu, 14 March 2002 at 2:55 PM
6 to me as well. Guess I'm part of the in-crowd. For those of you who remember the 80's: "I bot, you bot, we bot. I bot, you bot, they bot. I bot, you bet e-bot ..." "E-bot has been ... activated." "I always feel like, somebody's e-bottin' me. Who's playin' tricks on me?"

melanie posted Thu, 14 March 2002 at 7:47 PM
Just a thought from what LeeEvans said about previous purchases: Are those of you who haven't gotten the ebots ever purchased anything from the store? Maybe, if you haven't bought anything, you wouldn't get the ebots. Since Sharen mentioned it came from "Received: from host1.bondware.com" I have to wonder if someone is trying to steal goodies from the stores using other people's passwords. There'll always be people trying to get something for nothing. Melanie
hauksdottir posted Thu, 14 March 2002 at 8:30 PM
I feel so unloved! ::snivel:: No emails. :sniff:: And I have purchased from the store. This does feel more like a hacker than a glitch at work, so actually I'm very glad to be ignored.
Tempus Fugit posted Fri, 15 March 2002 at 3:31 AM
I got six from here yesterday, and then this morning I got an email from Reachel White at DAZ apologizing for problems I had downloading. I haven't bought anything in a few weeks and have never had any problems, though, so I'm wondering if it's a related issue or just a mass-mailing...
LeeEvans posted Fri, 15 March 2002 at 12:56 PM
Anything from the Staff here on what was / is going on?? - Lee
Omnedon posted Tue, 19 March 2002 at 10:05 PM
No emails here (yet), then again, I haven't purchased from the store either. If one were to be paranoid, one might wonder how the 'hacker' (if such is doing this) is selecting suitable targets...
