Welcoming myself back ;-)

[Massive Lee]

Hi everyone

Old time member from 20 or 25 years ago returning after spending months and months trying to log in. With no way to contact an administrator I had to create a new account. I suppose a new structure made my log in impossible. I was known as «Lee» now returning as «Massive Lee». I was/am the dude designing parts for e28s under Massive brand. No longer have an e28 - I had a 533i - but still have a 5 series : 2006 530xiT and love it. It makes me appreciate the simplicity of the good old e28, except in snow and on slippery surfaces.

Welcome back!

Welcome back. I had a similar issue with the site. I was prompted to make a new password and after I did I was unable to get back in. I tried making a new account because I couldn’t contact a moderator without being logged in. It took about a month and a half to get a new username and password. Any attempt I would make would get me times out for some reason. Here I am now with a new username.

The same thing happened to me Lee Massive Lee. Did you like what I did with your names there? Lol.

It took a while, but I got lucky and was eventually granted access. I was stressing out about losing my post count, so it was a major relief to not have to start over again.

I still have to up my post count to get access to PMing a moderator. I’d like my old account back, but not sure if it’s possible at this point.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, JimmyKay. A poster likes to know his stats, right? :-)

Well, you're out of luck, because we don't have moderators.

Guess what someone's "handle" being green-colored signifies?

Some of those folks actually participate in threads and could observe what your former handle is, if you'd bother to mention it.

Thanks for the wake up call. I'm a little deficient when it comes to the internet things. I only joined Facebook about a year ago when I bought my E28. My previous username was Dimm6. Any help is appreciated.

Back in the days, one's nickname could be three letters and not many more letters could make a decent password. One question I still have in my head as my memory is foggy on the subject, was Roadfly.org the step before mye28 was set-up? Also wasn't it Mye28.org before it became a .com?

I remember that Roadfly used to be where all of us, 2002, e30 or e28 guys would hang out until it kinda "exploded"...

BTW I lost my post count but really, I couldn't care less. I may even have lost it previuously at some point when there was a platform migration...

[John in VA]

Yes, we migrated here from Roachfly. Same with the 2002 crew moving to the FAQ. I see you're still active there - thanks for your products & insights!

Welcome back, I was just explain to my twelve year old what message boards were. When I showed him some of the old print outs that I would take out to the car, he looked at me like I was stupid.
