Why do I always have to change password every 100 day.. and a NEW one?

This is bugging me because I have to come up with new passwords all the time that I wont remember, only to this site. Don't tell me its security because having 2-3 pw's would be enough to change every 100 day, but not always have to come up with a new. Why is this?

Same here its annoying to change the password so often and I might forget it and the email i registered with is no longer valid so i may get locked out.

I was actually not aware that our members are forced to change their password all the time. I agree that this is pointless - it just encourages people to use simple passwords. However, it seems unlikely that anyone lost their VIP status over this, as only the STANDARD usergroup had password expiration enabled. One would think that the primary usergroup would override the settings of secondary groups, and if you have a VIP account, STANDARD is a secondary group.

In any case, the password expiration option has now been disabled for STANDARD as well.

I checked the records and you guys both lost VIP access due to extremely low participation here in the forums, but thanks for alerting us to the password expiration issue.
