Each member must, at all times, be registered with a valid and current email address. Expired email addresses will cause administrative messages to bounce back to the server, and other associated problems.
If an expired address is discovered, the forums administrator may attempt to contact the member whose account that address belongs to via Private Message (PM). If there is no response to the administrator's PM within seven days, that member's account may be temporally suspended until contact has been established and the member’s email address has been updated. If there is no contact after three months, the account may be cancelled.
It is each member's responsibility to maintain a valid email address. Email addresses can be updated by clicking on "My Controls" in the top right-hand corner of the main forums window, and then clicking on “Change Email Address” in the left-hand column (under "Options").
1-2. Lost passwords & multiple accounts
Each member should be registered to the forums with only one username (or account). If you forget your account password, you should retrieve it via the Lost Password Form, rather than create a new account. Alternatively, you can contact the forum administrator via email to have your password reset. Multiple accounts created by the same person will be deleted.
Accounts that have been inactive for more than six months may automatically be cancelled, without notification. Note, however, that you don’t have to post a message to keep your account active – you simply just have to log in at least once within any six-month period (with each period beginning from the last time you logged in).
