The fact that there is such business freely in operation without restrain whatsoever to buy and sell bitcointalk accounts is now 100% confirmed all the account hacking is 100% inside job.

does not compute. I have no idea myself. Maybe your math failed.

If I were in charge of the whole forum, the problem would have been solved within a month.

Start your own forum. Stupid comment. Otherwise if you are not satisfied with your government/bank/company, you might as well start your own government/bank/company.

I agree with your last post. It's not hard to make forum more secure. I've seen exchanges that give you layers and layers of things you have to do to change a password starting from a 4 digit pin number, then an email confirmation and ending with a 2fa code.

Additional security features will be available in epochtalk. Theymos probably doesn't want to put too much work into the current forum software when the switch to epochtalk is planned anyway.
Wanna do something to make the forum more secure? Help beta test epochtalk. No need to reinvent the wheel with another forum. Waste of time and effort. Pixie85 was right to mention email confirmation. Countless of websites, big and small, have been using email confirmation very successfully and continue doing so. Just adopt what works will do perfectly fine.
