AD Titans - Another Important Update

Just a short update here. All is well in AD Titans; we continue our upward growth pattern. It looks like a steady trend - nothing major. We do have our ups and downs with regard to New members vs upgraded members, but that is to be expected. We are still very pleased with the growth we are experiencing, and we would like to thank EVERYONE for their continued support of AD Titans. AD Titans is like one of my children... meaning I will fiercely protect it. Please, if you see someone spreading ill rumors about us, POLITELY correct them. We should all remain professional at all times.

SECURITY time again! This will upset some, but I would rather have a few people upset at me than have their accounts compromised. We have now implemented a MANDATORY password changing schedule. It is currently in place. Some of you may have already experienced it. Everyone's password is now required to be changed once every 30 days (you can still do it more frequently if you so choose). The system will force this issue since I know most of you will not do it voluntarily =) Everyone hates changing passwords... even myself. If your password has expired you will still be able to login using your old password, but after doing so you will be redirected to a password reset page. If you do not reset your password at this time, you will not be able to navigate through the rest of the site. The date that the system looks for is your original signup date and counts 30 days from there. The 30 days is counted as 30 calendar days not business days. I truly hope everyone understands and appreciates why we have implemented this into our system. Keep one step ahead of those "hacker" jerks. Edward's soapbox time... Go to the forums and read the security thread if you haven't already. Educate yourself on how to protect yourself and your finances. DO IT. Signup on the forums and participate. We have a few hundred active members, and the discussions are great! Get in there and contribute your thoughts and opinions. The members of AD Titans are what is helping to form AD Titans into where it will be tomorrow, the next week and well into the future.

Update on the Verification Documents: I could not have asked for a more successful implementation and acceptance by the members than we did for this. The only thing I need to point out to people is that for now, you ONLY need to send the documents if you have clicked on the "HOLD" link on your "PENDING" payment. If you have not clicked on that link, you are not required to send in documents. I would also like to extend another option for those of you that are outside of the US (or inside for that matter). If you scan the documents and attach the images to an email to admin@adtitans.com, that will be accepted in lieu of a fax. I know an international fax can be costly, and it costs AD Titans money to use the fax system we are currently using. So, if you feel so inclined and know how to scan an image and attach it to an email, please feel free to do so.

Edward
