I'm useless

All stevebritgimps on the internet are me. Somehow the old account when I try to use the email new password doesn't do anything, so maybe I didn't give an email. I've tried my passwords, I have a limited number I use quite a lot, and none work. Can I prove it's me? Hard to directly link me to that account. Like I say I'm stevebritgimp everywhere else, e.g. Yahoo, Youtube, Wikipedia, and my accounts there go back years, and I am contactible there - Rationalwiki was a small part of my empire, like so much else which I hadn't got round to, and I was reminded of it recently through a post on the Plymouth SITP on facebook. Similar to User Totnesmartin we are members of wikiproject Devon on wikipedia. So you could ask me on any of those sites, and I could respond there and say 'yes I am trying to get into my rationwiki account'. Proving it was me originally who set it up might be hard. No one has set it up as a Steve sockpuppet. They'd be doing a good impression of me.

You didn't specify an email address in your old account. In the past when I did this kind of thing I always had some sort of definitive proof that I was giving the account to the right person, in this case I'm leaning towards sending you a new password via wikipedia (to wp:User:Stevebritgimp), but I'm not sure what I'm allowed to do on the server any more, and breaking into someone's account is a pretty big deal.

Perhaps there's an alternate username you'd feel comfortable being renamed to, Steve?

Yeah, a rename would be the more sensible option.

Well, thanks for your help, but a rename would kind of defeat the object of me asking, and I might as well stick with this one. Still mystified that I picked a password I can't remember, unless there is a funny capital letter in there somewhere.

Right - I have had another go with my password memory bank - and cracked it (for the record it was a lack of a capital whereas now I use a capital). So it is sorted. So now I have two accounts, although one of those is extraneous. I suppose I can troll myself.

I'm happy to hear that
