Title: My username here has been hijacked.
Post by: Fking2 on September 23, 2014, 11:55:44 AM
Password and email are changed. Is there a way to get it back?
If it can be restored to the previous mail, that would be enough for me I suppose. If there is record of previous emails used at all?

I don't know why you guys keep pointing to that thread. theymos is clearly not doing that.

I never had to try it, so I dont know, but from all I read it works as long as you do it right. From what I read most are just unable to provide a signature with an address and a reliable source within the board for that address (e.g. a PM to DefaultTrust or a post in an auction thread)

Then shouldn't theymos at least get back to us if there is an issue with our PM? All the threads I've read on this section thus far have been people complaining about not getting any response at all, me included! And I have double checked and verified that the PM I sent is legit on both brainwallet and blockchain.info. I don't even know if theymos is even reading his PM for that matter because there is no indication he is whatsoever.

There was a post by him somewhere about him having a leaky queue, so we are to resend every two days. I dont know why you get no answer.

The leaky queue was not about restoring accounts, it was about something else. IIRC the "leaky queue" was regarding people wanting to change their usernames.

I believe you are talking about this post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.msg7697424#msg7697424.
While theymos was responding to a request of changing username, he mentioned "I have kind of a "leaky queue" for forum work". :)
