And before this I came up with my passwords this way:

Take a random joke between friends:

"Put on some pants! It is winter!"

Take something funny from it:

"snowballs"

And put more words to it:

"snowballnopants"

And then change some of the letters to numbers:

sn0wballn0pants

And add some capitals:

Sn0wBalln0pants

But I wonder if it is a strong enough one.

Some people say if a site allows it to also put in symbols so then it would be:

Sn0wBa!!n0pants

The only way to protect yourself is to arm yourself with knowledge. When you relax and expect others to protect you, they usually drop the ball. So this is why I do what I do.

All forum Admins should change their password

This message is for ALL FORUM ADMINS!

We highly recommend that you change your forum password RIGHT AWAY!

Moreover, your new password should contain special characters for maximum security.

Examples of strong passwords:
2D34*&6)2z3
^*(abc
good*(%%pass

etc etc.

This will ensure more security against hackers.
After you change your password, we recommend that you change it again every 3-6 months.

Another list of password (haven't compared it to the earlier one at all .. but I just came across this one while reading an article from 2007 regarding GoDaddy vs a security site).

Make sure YOUR password is not on this list! If it is CHANGE IT NOW!!!
