Wondering if anyone can help me reclaim my long lost account (RobRoy) that points to an email (rob@electronicinsight.com) but I've sold the domain a couple years back. I have a lot of issue history I'd like to not lose. New email address rob@surfbeyond.com. Not sure if this is the right spot for the support request or not.

Hi Rob, long time no see :)

It would be fabulous to be able to give your account back to you as long as we figure out how to verify that you are you :D

I sent a contact email to your original account for a first step.

The account is https://www.drupal.org/u/robroy.

Are you still able to log in using that account?

@kiamlaluno: I think if he could we would not have this support request.

I sent a contact email to RobRoy's user and it did not bounce to me.

It was just to understand. Maybe he started to use the new account, but he has the password for the old account, which is still valid.

Hi guys, sorry I wasn't getting notifications for this thread so didn't see any of these comments until now! Hi Gábor...indeed a long time!

I'm not able to log in to that account since I no longer have the electronicinsight.com domain name and can't remember my password for the life of me. Trying to figure out a way to verify that I am myself.

It's kinda all a haze but remember a moche and a webchick and the old days before git! Things have come a long way.

I think you might have to just go on faith @Gabor et al. Whoever bought my domain likely has catch-all at *@electronicinsight.com so won't bounce. Not the end of the world but would be cool to get connecting to all my old issues. Let me know!

Do you have access to any of these sites still?
http://bigideas.berkeley.edu
http://www.hibeam.org
http://www.mp3pig.com
http://www.vantagecounsel.com

If so could you put a text file there authenticating yourself? Did you ever join the DA? Did you come to an event? (The DA would have more information on file from you that you could verify privately, if so)

I don't have access to any of those sites anymore. Didn't join the DA as far as I can remember.

Thought I'd ping one last time here. Any chance to regain access to RobRoy or should I rebrand myself in 2017?

Send an email to help@drupal.org, providing all the information necessary to understand you are the user who created that account. In this way, there isn't the need to give in public information that should be private.
