WOW- That took effort! Thank you to the admins!
 

So, my account password was changed or challenged so many times that it got locked. The self-service password reset function would simply return me to the 'too many attempts' prompts. It was beyond frustrating. I emailed the 'admin@xoutpost' account once a day with a polite notice of my trouble and appreciation for their efforts.

I had lost the email I used when registering (like 2006?). I still own the domain, so I was able to reinitiate the email subscription, change my nameservers and mail servers for the domain, and begin receiving email again. THAT allowed me at *least* to get the password reset emails and to send email from my registered account address. At least I wouldn't be an imposter, right?

Anyway, outside of some time away from the forum and ~$30 in annual renewals for email, I am once again signed in.

Hope you guys missed me! ;)

How do we know for sure that you're not PropellerHead-bot?

Similar situ here, though when the site said "incorrect PW/can't log in again for ~ minutes/attempts", blah blah blah, I could still read Today's Posts, et al.

Now, I can get in. So whatever got fixed/got better is woikin' for me now!
