Just an FYI, the moron is running an open directory site, and the zip file used to collect all the usernames and passwords is just sitting out there for anyone to download. Mods might want to grab it and lock any accounts appearing in the list.

Same guy is doing it on Timezone, and a bike sales forum.

There is already a thread on this somewhere and on WUS. He tried me 4 or 5 times in the last week. I replied to previous thread and started one on WUS.
