    I used to have another account here ... made a long time ago, circa the days when EG started the Forum.

    I have hardly used it because I have forgotten the password and can't be arsed to retrieve it. Now that I remember, i tried to log in. It went ok up to the point that says on the top green bar, "Logged in as: " ... but when I tried to edit my profile, or post on forum, it throws me to the account creation page.

    Have you guys done some housekeeping to get rid off old inactive accounts?

    Mapter, by posting the user ID we can easily find the profile in question, any other way you can inform him confidentially?

    I can't help you as I can't see your password (and rightly so).

    I can see your other user id though, and it is numero ??, I won't say the name.

    I would use the contact form to nicely ask and see if they can reset the password on your account, give them all your details including the email you registered with.

    Gotta be worth a try?
    Beat me to the punch, i was just about to drop a mail to the powers that be to notify them of this, but if Hula is going to do it himself i'll cancel that.

    Man what a waste of prose, eloquent as Woody Allen it was.

    Hardly necessary to say the name if you give us the user number, Mapster. ;p

    edit:

    Har.

    How do you do that, then, out of curiosity?

    Answer me this riddle and knowledge shall be yours:

    We are very little creatures; all of us have different features. One of us in glass is set; one of us you'll find in jet. Another you may see in tin, and a fourth is boxed within. If the fifth you should pursue, it can never fly from you.
    What are we?

    Note: the riddler knows when you google.

    You broke a riddle deal. You of all people should no what the punishment for that is.






    DEATH!

    Or a ban from EG, as good as death though.

    I have a good riddle.

    My first is in January, but never in March. My second is in Tree, but not in the Larch. Third and Fourth are a perfect Match. Fifth is in Grab, but not in Snatch. Sixth is an Orange, perfectly Round, Seventh is a hole, but not in the ground. Eighth is in drum, Ninth is in beat. Tenth is located within the fleet. Eleventh is yourself, but never in me, Twelfth is in smile, but never in glee.

    Ban Urizen Mapster. He didn't honour the riddle deal.

    Heh, I seriously doubt it...

    a) a riddle solution should make some sort of supreficial sense

    b) I ended up with such a jumble of possible letters that I just randomly put them together.

    Clues, Gremmi? It is, presumably, something to do with letters...?

    Urizen doesn't even know the secret, he's bluffing.

    Also, shame on Mapster for doing it in the first place, you should know the ins and outs of the forum by now.

    inga?

    naig?

    niga?

    I'm way off, aren't I? :-)
