Need help w/ AnandTech.com

I know this may not be the best place for this but I've got nobody else to turn to.

Over two months ago, my Rogers@Home Cable ISP has decided to do a massive upgrade and also change the extension of all e-mails from joeblow@home.com to joeblow@rogers.com... I tried to change my old @home to @rogers e-mail in my AnandTech.com profile, but somehow I was kicked off by the board. I couldn't login again with my password. After a couple of days I e-mailed AnandTech.com forum administrator and explained the situation. He sent me a new password to login with but that password didn't work. I e-mailed him back and I waited, waited some more, a little more and that more turned out to be a month without any word from AnandTech.com team. I e-mailed them again and waited - no response. E-mailed again with a little attitude (nothing bad) since I purchased a video card from a user there and I didn't want to become a troll or anything similar if I didn't notify him of its arrival. All my info with that user was storred in our PM conversations.

As far as I know, I did nothing bad to be mistreated by AnandTech.com staff. I barely pulled out of the deal with a help of a friend.

Could anyone tell me what the heck is going on overthere? I'm not a bad person and never was. I just tried to change my e-mail.

Is there someone else I could contact from AnandTech.com? Because I got tired of waiting for the forum moderator to respond to my requests.

Thanks,
Kamil W. aka VFAA @ AnandTech.com

yeah why the hell would u want to go there? And why do u come here to complain? We dont care about there. The speaking of that dreaded name is frowned upon and brings disgust to many faces. Mine included. Well, Your more than welcome to stick around here but dont just come here to complain.

Sounds like typical Anandtech mod behavior to me. Their 3 main rules are to:

1. Act irrationally
2. Act quickly
3. Act like a smart-ass

Their damned good at it, too.

hmm thats odd. I'm a Diamond Member or something like that on AT, and I've never had any problem with the Mods at all. Do you want me to post a thread in the Forum Issues explaining your situation?
