no need to mention "hell" is there?

but I think is ment to let non visiting members drop of the member list

we are all asked to change our passwords every 100 days in order to maintain a respective level of security on the forum. after all how many people use the exact same password / username combination and never bother to change them ?. this is done for both your and our benefit.

And be thankful you don't upset an Admin.
Or they will make you change your password every login.

I know I do at work if someone upsets me! :)

Its an extra level of security, surely its not too much for your brain to handle is it? :p You could always revert back to your old one if you so wish.

thats what i do i set a new password when asked and then go into my profile panel and change my password back to the old one i had, as there is no stipulation to change it to comething not used in the past,

justnneds to be different then the current one

Because this is the rules! Surely your brain can handle a new password every 90 days?
