If you want me to recover a hacked/lost account, you need to prove that you own it. Typically, the only acceptable method of proving ownership is by signing a message (including current date and desired new email address) using a Bitcoin address or PGP key associated with the account. A Bitcoin address or PGP key is associated with the account only if the account posted the key/address, sent it in a PM, or if it is still listed in the account's profile.
I very rarely recover accounts if you can't prove ownership as described above. There are alternative ways of proving ownership, but they take too much time. If I point you to this thread, you can't prove ownership properly, and then I ignore your future PMs, this means that I'm not going to recover your account. Create a new one.
Authenticating using an email wasn't mentioned so I'm not sure if it will suffice, but if you are unable to do it as described above, you can still try and see if Raize's method is enough.
Also, if I'm reading these posts correctly, you live in the NY area so your present IP should be from that area, presumably. I imagine a mod can get you fixed up.
Barring social engineering, mods can't see users' IP addresses. If you need/want to recover an account, contact
