I keep getting emails from this site that the forgot password function has been used for my account but I never have used it yet.   The IP listed is 31.135.72.20, which is somewhere in Russia.    So is someone trying to hack my account on here?   I have no clue why as there's literally nothing important on here whatsoever, but still a little concerning I suppose.

I got one as well. Same IP. I changed my password earlier today, anyway, so I'm not too worried about it.

The site is presently running like dogs**t for me, though. But that may just be the usual.

Hi -
I have added a full-ban on the ip address.
Please let me know if anyone receives further emails.

Thanks,
Dave

How many other people have had this happen to them?  Are they trying to hack just a handful of people, or many?

I received one of these too, immediately changed my password, forgot my new password, and thus had to send myself a legitimate password reset email.

e: The bogus one was 31.135.72.20, too.
