I can't be 1,000 percent certain, but I believe someone is trying to hack, not only into the PCW, but into my computer.
I received about three emails from "Pure Class." One of the emails was entitled, "Pure Class fansite." And there was a link to, "pureclass.anglefire.com." The other email stated, "Just wondering if you seen the link to the fansite." A third email, from the same user but from a different email addy, stated, "Just wanted to make sure you seen the site. Hope it didn't go to junk mail."
Anyone who is anyone knows you do not click links in emails from unknown senders, especially ones from anglefire.
I then noticed someone joined the forums today from a "fg.board.contest@gmail.com" email address today. I don't trust it, especially after receiving the emails and being told yesterday, "if you don't let me in, I'll just have to sneak into the PCW."
I have suspicion on who it might be, but without proof, I'd rather not make the assumption public. Let's just say, if it is who I think it is, the attempt was caused because that person is no longer welcomed to be apart of PCW.
As a precaution, at least for the time being, all those who join the boards that I do not know, must return an email I send out to them clearly explaining how they've heard of the PCW and, if possible, who recommended them to join. And then I'll have to get in-contact with that person who recommended them before I accept them to the forums.
I'll bypass the above if, after you invite someone to join the PCW, you just let me know who it is you invited and what handle (name) they registered with.

PS
If the person I declined earlier with the ...contest.gmail.com email addy is someone you know, let me know and reinvite them. If not, I'll let that one pass for now.
