I've been hacked!

Fool_of_a_Took · 02-14-2011, 01:53 AM

A few months back when I returned to Entmoot after quite a long sojourn, I realized that my account seemed to have been hacked. I was not allowed to do anything on the site and couldn't seem to fix it, so I made a new name so that I would still use the site.

The only issue here is that I was forced to attach the user name that I actually use now (Fool_of_a_Took) to an email account that I never check. I would like to switch it back to the email that I normally use, however the site will not let me do that because it is still attached to my now defunct old account

Is there any way to remedy this?

Thanks for your time!

There may be ways to restore it, yes. If you can provide me with your old user-name and the email-address that you would like to use, then I'll see what I can do. You can PM them to me if you don't like to post them on the open forum.

I may also be able to merge both your old and current accounts if you'd like, then you would have access again to your old PM's and posts.
