Title: Forum Account recovery
Post by: SpeedCrunch1 on May 04, 2012, 10:12 pm
Hello peoples.

I got a bit of a problem and not to sure who I need to speak to about possibility getting it fixed.

The USB stick that I was using to keep all my SR related information has died on me and I had to restore from an old backup.
Unfortunately I didn't keep up to date backups and now I have lost my forum account details. I still have access to my main SilkRoad account it's just my forum account details are missing.

I guess I need to speak to a forum mod or admin about a possible password reset. I can provide proof of account ownership by describing my PM's in my inbox and my SR account is the same name as my forum account.

The forum account name is: SpeedCrunch
Same as my SilkRoad account.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards
SpeedCrunch

(EDIT) Anyone know of any mods/admins that I could contact? I seriously don't want to have to start my forum account over again :/

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you're fucked, but at least you have learned the value of multiple backups.

I know the email that I used to register my account. The only problem is it's not real for obvious security reasons.

As for the account I can provide detailed information about every PM on my account inbox. If I didn't own the account I wouldn't be able to do that. Plus my silkroad account has the same name if a mod/admin does a bit of research they will see that I own the account. Plus there's also the fact that I haven't logged into my account since my USB stick died on me.

A creative law enforcement officer would have all that covered by using alternate forum names to create a history of messages they could recite at will.

Heck it might even include names of well known forum members all set up previously for social engineering attempts just like this.

Move on. We're done here. It isnt going to happen, and if it does, that means no ones accounts are safe.

I think someones been smoking a bit to much weed you need to chill out mate and take it easy on the paranoid stoner conspiracy theories.
All I am looking for is to get in touch with a mod/admin that might be able to help me out. I don't need negative criticism.

It you got nothing positive to say then please don't post in my thread.

Kind Regards

This is not your thread. Its a community thread.

Paranoia and not blindly believing people has kept me out of prison a long time.

Admins and mods have been active during your thread existence and not been contacting you.

Why do you think that is ?

Instead of letting you hang, I am telling you why.

You are welcome by the way.
