Title: restore old acount Post by: GreenFirefly on November 20, 2017, 01:02:52 PM Trying to log with my old account I get:
>Sorry %username%, you are banned from using this forum! >Your account is locked because it sat inactive for years after the password hashes were leaked in 2015, and was therefore at high risk of being hacked. I sent mail to address react-vdnp8@theymos.e4ward.com without any response. I want my old account.

Look at the sticky in meta for the guide. Don't expect a reply any time soon though, as loads of people are requesting the same thing so he likely has a backlog.

Really annoying that the message says to email, but not that this procedure is in place. I didn't couple my bitcoin address, so I've got no way to recover. Any suggestions on other ways of proving ownership? Btw. My email address never changed, shouldn't the database confirm this even after the hashes got stolen?

If the hashes did get stolen, then they also know your email. Which, a lot of people use the same password for multiple websites, which means emails could of been compromised too. There isn't any other way to prove ownership other than signing an address.
