I used to be Tiresias. I have totally forgotten my password and the e-mail address for that account is one I no longer have access to.

Sorry bro, but that's probably not gonna be enough.

Are you also "I, Tiresias" ?

Maybe the mods will be helpful if you can prove that you - "I, Tiresias".

And won't all these accounts have been registered from the same IP?

That depends. If you have been using the same ISP, and they didn't change the IP, then yes. THAT would help your case tremendously.

I'd say PM ghporter, demonhood or reader50 about it.

You can reset your password, you'll receive a link by e-mail with which to reset it.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

I'd suggest PMing ghporter or reader50. One of them should be able to help you.

I PMed ghporter.

Oreo, no can do. During exams, I changed all my old passwords (e-mail, MacNN) to 15-digit numbers I thereafter blissfully and willingly forgot in order to eliminate Interweb distractions. I already retrieved this lame username through my main e-mail account via the method you suggest, but Tiresias and I, Tiresias were, alas, registered using other, now inaccessible, e-mail accounts.

I wasn't perma-banned. Notched up a few infractions though; largely for petty squabbles with Kevin. Ah, good times.

If this fails I think I am going to register as Lazarus.

I second that. I'd keep it, if I was you.

Exhaustive and intensive investigation has revealed the necessary truths of this issue. Charlie, check the email you provided in your PM.

And next time just write down the password somewhere and put that away, OK?
