I just received the following e-mail:
Apparently I have a really old account here that I didn't know about from 2006. I tried to recover the password, but the forum software always thinks my captcha entry is wrong. Google updated reCAPTCHA and deprecated some of the old implementations; might be time to update the forums. vBulletin 3 is ancient.

Dear Tech Helper,
Someone has tried to log into your account on Parallax Forums with an incorrect password at least 5 times. This person has been prevented from attempting to login to your account for the next 15 minutes.
The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 111.12.128.167
All the best,
Parallax Forums
