Gah, I hate those. I get them from time to time and it always makes me paranoid until I find out that I can log onto my account just fine. I had one of those dreams last night and it was awful. I kept changing my password frequently when I saw that there were posts that I never made in my post history and the outfit kept changing everytime I thought I was safe and booted the hacker out. The hacker kept getting back in moments later. It was scary...

They were trying to take over my account completely by staying one step ahead of me. Luckily, a lot of the real Gaia hackers aren't that smart and leave evidence.

Ack. I hate dreams about hackers...

Last time I had one of those it was about a neopets account that got scammed *Lame I know*

Honestly if one of my gaia accounts got hacked, I think we'd all be doomed.

I dunno.
I don't worry too much about that stuff.
If it ever happens, I guess my avatar will just go nakie or I'll quit, cuz I hate rebuilding anything.

I don't know what I'd do. I thought I was going to quit after my Baby Seal Slippers were scammed from me, but I'm still here.

There is a profile option that if you don't allow moderator PMs and you get hacked, the Gaia staff isn't responsible. Just saw that today. Toodles!

Yup, that's been there for a while. There's also the option for the "leaving Gaia" message. If you turn it off, Gaia won't be able to help get your stuff back.

Ouch, figures that the most annoying things the site could come up with--big screens with red all over it, for example--could keep your account from getting hacked.

Scary dream, though.

I didn't mind the smaller message that would pop up at the top of the screen. This new one that takes up the whole page is indeed a bit much.
