Looking at my logs under last attack - noticed they rotated through multiple User Agents all in the same 1 minute span ..that option of defense really seems to be a very minor hindrance to a real attack. Highly Agree about blocking the member list to guests help - vB.org should really consider this - especially the way this last attack occured alphabetically - I don't even see a valid reason to make the list available to registered users . Hate forced password changes myself - seems to encourage users to pin them to their workstation to keep up.
