Emailed Brent and got back on. The IP address that locked was out of Chicago area but had been hopped from elsewhere. 66.248.200.3
https://www.ip2location.com/free/traceroute Looking at previous issues over last few months its always been a hopped IP address that locked me out.
Dunno if it is a vindictive forum member or a Smart A$$ kid. Since all it takes to lock someone is their user name and a few failed attempts. I wish the actual account user name was different from our screen name as it would prevent this issue since it would be hidden.
It's easy to find a list of usernames: Of course, every post has a username on it. Then all active users are listed at the bottom of the main forum list page. It's simple to deny service: Simply use one of those usernames and try logging in until you get the lockout error...
