Welcome to RPGamer's new forums running under Vanilla Forums! If you're run into any odd or strange issues after our software migration please see
this thread for details
Hey all;
We had an issue with the forums for about 12 hours now where logins would be largely failing due to "too many password attempts" -- this should be cleared up now. If you still cannot log in, please contact me at

I get this message on the *first* login attempt. Even after waiting 15+ minutes, I usually just get the message again. I (obviously) can eventually log in if I repeat this enough times...
Note: I think I only got sent a 5 failed attempts e-mail, when I tried ignoring the 15 minute wait one time. (Although it might also have been because I didn't notice my Capslock at first.)
Otherwise I've just tried the "Remember Me?" option yesterday and now I'm not getting the problem, by virtue of not needing to ever log in ;)
(I wonder if that's why few people are seeing it.)
I've had the same problem, though not as often.
"Remember Me" has kept me logged in all this week, so I've seen no issues since then.
I just tried logging out a moment ago and it is letting me log back in again.
and now im stuck with a temp pass that doesnt work either and i cant change my password

If the forum software is blocking IP addresses after a certain number of failed login attempts from that address, but is running behind a proxy that is remapping IP addresses, then that might account for this. (A large group of people appear to belong to the same IP address, but when enough failed logins accumulate, everybody in the group is locked out).
Who has this problem and who doesn't might be related to geographic location, or network topology, or ISP.
nslookup is reporting multiple IP addresses for board.rpgamer.com. Just before posting this, one of those addresses was rejecting me immediately, but the other one let me in (I copied the IP address manually into my browser, instead of using "board.rpgamer.com"). Perhaps there's a load-balancing system gone awry, or a DNS problem?
(.96 gave me the "failed login quota" error, .77 let me log in).

However, since you're a New Member, what you're getting is the spam filter smacking you. That's normal. Basically until you get rid of New Member, you can't post links without it tripping it; we try to check the queue about every week, so don't let it scare you. We will allow any post that isn't spammy sooner or later. So don't be afraid to try to post links! We just have to double check'em b/c of rampant spambots.
