Dagnabbit we have become popular. If a stranger purporting to be IOPLIst.org emails u or PMs you, and tells u that u must reset ur password thru their link, please don't fall for it.
IF U GET LOCKED OUT, CONTACT US AT HOME PAGE. BOTTOM LEFT OF PAGE. BUT, WE SHALL NEVER TELL U THAT U NEED TO RESET UR PASSWORD.
CUZ, HOW WOULD WE KNOW? ITS A SCAMMER. BOY, YEAH WE KNOW TIMES R DESPERATE FOR US ALSO.
GO AWAY SCAMMER AND DON'T FALL FOR IT, GUYS AND GALS.

Well, we must assume that the people whom will fall for this, potentially, are below fifty posts.
So, I placed it in Welcome thread which all can see. In a private area or two. In scam forums area. And, i shall place warning in Blacklist cuz new persons can see that also.
Thank u kristof. P.S. Give me a hint where important threads are! I don't recall coming across that topic.

Thanks for the sound advice Charon.
Some people out there really are so underhand.

Wow, this is crazy! that popular people are trying to steal usernames to log in and access. Could be some people already ia member or have been a disgruntled one from the forum. I would imagine some sort of revenge maybe?
Who knows, either way most people with high level access aren't going to fall for that kinda bs. Everyone else just be careful.. check your URL always, then check again!
