still no response

[x iJailBreak x]

I will no longer be maintaining this modification as vBulletin refuses to give me access to my own account back.

Until such a time that I do get access to my account back (as I refuse to buy another license as they've asked me to) permission is given for any user to take over this project.

I apologise in advance for any inconvenience.

My vBulletin.com member's account. I'm currently battling to get it back.

I lost access to the email it was associated to and vBulletin refuses to update the account with my new email.

With the forum being hacked recently I'm not surprised they're refusing.

Show them proof of ID (passport/drivers license) and confirm where you live etc...
Maybe then they might.

Also how do you lose access to the email it was associated to?
You've tried recovering that email back from whatever website you registered with, right?
So why can't you recover your email back?

My name doesn't match my vB account as I didn't register with my real name however my address should have matched perfectly. And my email account was lost as it was on a custom domain that I no longer have.
