Title: someone took my username?
Post by: xsasr on May 23, 2013, 06:33 pm
I have had this forum name for almost a year. And my SR account is "xs".

But someone took "xsasr" on SR. (Possibly it was me, but I can't remember.)

How can I check this?

I would at least like to know when this SR account was created and if this account is active. If someone else took my screen name then this seriously jeopardizes my forum account as well as my original SR account.

Please advise.

I don't think it's possible to provide information on when an account was created and if it is active.

Hi xsasr,

As scout has stated, Silk Road will not provide information as to when an account was created. To find out if it is active, simply try to register it. If you cannot register it then it has not been archived.

You can read more about archiving here:

http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/wiki/index.php?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions#Will_my_account_be_deleted_for_inactivity.3F

If you believe that you did indeed register the account but can't remember the password to it, you can message SR Support with the information found here:

http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/wiki/index.php?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions#I_forgot_my_passphrase.

Nobody "took" your screen name, nor does the fact that it has been registered by somebody else before you jeopardise anything. It is up to each member to register a Silk Road / Silk Road forum username - if you fail to do so, or the username you desire is already in use, there is nothing we can do.

Thread locked as resolved.
