I find the new rules too much restrictive but very good and effective for this "dark age". Aaron and JMI are right...lots of people are only singing up to grab the ftp password and download even their asses if they were on the ftp. So even if they are too much restrictive I think that they will to their job for a while at least. I experimented myself in old times the ftp beeing inaccessible for "too many users".
The only thing i find without any sense(unless pointed to some good reasons) is the password change policy every 30 days. Personallly i switched on the auto-reminder feature so i don't even have to type it. It's a unuseful thing to type every time the password...also because i don't know others, but mine is 14 chars long...so not easily guessable. But I understand that maybe Aaron that is behind the administration of this board may have reasons that are not clear to me. Any Words?
