I'm promoting VideosZ (hi Clement!) and find it disturbing that they don't make it harder for crackers to brute-force them. Can't you give out RANDOM PASSWORDS to members?
I don't agree with the notion that this helps bring on new members.. Give me a break - 20 new access codes to Videosz alone are posted every few hours there. Do programs give a shit about these sites?

I think what is more important is how fast the stolen logins are shut down. Who cares if someone posts a million logins to your site, if they aren't working then no one is getting anything for free. There was a time when boards like that would actually generate sales with 404 traps and other trickery.
