why do you feel threatened because of this? my basic understanding is that people are afraid of the unknown. first of all, hacking isn't some super power. it's just a greater understanding of how things work. now to my point, how do you know he's hacking your forum? my guess is he isn't! he's capturing the passwords of known spammer accounts and using that same password to access the email account. that's why he has his own forums set up to do this. he doesn't have access to the database driving your own forum, therefore he can't "hack it". it just takes a little understanding. I've actually seen this guy around myself. I've gotten messages similar to what he describes. I know he hasn't hacked my forum, the spammers are more guilty of this then anyone. the spammers do many many times more damage then he has done to them.

I agree wholeheartedly, it is a danger. it kills! truth and free information kills ignorance and corrupt secrets. we NEED more honesty, even if it has to come from a website like this one. it will be shut down in the end.. that's the way things always go, but that doesn't mean truth and honesty can be fraught forever. stand up and demand to not be an ignorant pawn in the herd. you'll be stunned when you learn what's been hidden from you, you just have to look. you have fear because you have something to hide!
