I need to ask for feedback from the community here. I had previously created a separate Peercoin thread on Bitcointalk
here. The purpose of it was so that I could control the content of the first post by adding in important links and info about Peercoin. It would also let me edit the title every time there was news, which would draw new people into the thread.
While people did use the new thread and post in it, it was still competing with this original release thread by Sunny, even though the current team was no longer posting in it. Eventually I gave up on the new thread and came back to this one several months ago.
Since then I have come to an arrangement with Sunny King. He agreed to share access with me to his Bitcointalk account. This would let us retain the history of this thread, yet it would allow me to edit the original post like we needed to. Everything was great until I tried logging into his profile. I got the following error message...
“Sorry Guest, 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. Email
react-vdnp8@theymos.e4ward.com to get it unlocked.”
Apparently Sunny had not logged into his account for quite a while and it had gotten locked because he never changed his password after Bitcointalk got hacked. So I asked Sunny to email the address listed and request that they unlock the account. He received no reply. So I contacted a moderator here asking what to do and they told me to PM Theymos, so I did.
That was three weeks ago. I have sent a PM every week to Theymos asking for him to get into contact with Sunny so we can get his account unlocked and I haven’t had a single reply back from him. Sunny has emailed that address twice and has also received no reply. I tried contacting the previous moderator I talked to and he said there wasn’t much he could do.
I realize maybe the guy is just really busy, but his account is online all the time. I’m starting to feel as if he’s ignoring me on purpose and trying to hurt a competitor by keeping its founder locked out of his account.
Regardless of the real reasons, what are our options here? I really would like to keep using this thread because of its history, helpful content and links that have been posted over the years, but if the administrator of Bitcointalk refuses to help us regain control of the thread, what are we to do? I’d love to hear your thoughts in case anyone had any ideas that could remedy the situation.
