There's only one way for an account to be deleted. And that's if Tony or webmaster deletes it.

Well I've just had to re-register as my username and password were not registered on here already!

I entered all the details the same (Including username) and it let me register without saying that someone is already using that username!

Unless Tony's got a good reason why my account was deleted, then Special Reserve, or atleast UKdiscussions has been hacked and is NOT SAFE!

Tony please reply, and check my details if you don't believe me! They are all the same!


NOTE - this was due to an error, not a hack.

webmaster, another.com email accounts never receiver confirmation emails when setting up an account. This is a trouble I had when I had to sign up....

Also, my old username Toni, never needed the actual confirmation email reply/link and I managed to post without it, infact I can still post as Toni, without even having any details???

Why not, on the serious side of things I could have been a serial killer looking for my next victim (if RBS stops posting it wasn't me!!) or on the funny side of things I could have changed your tag, I did it to Grix with his permission just to show it could be done, and it fraked him out a little!!

Thanks for sorting it out webmaster!

Sorry about the thread title...but I'm sure you can understand...I've had problems with hackers for a while now and when I see my username changed to "I am stupid" and am able to re-register with the same details....
