Last night I went to novabbs to sigh up there, only to find out
that there are already two accounts there in my name. One with my
email address. I’ve contacted someone about this. I’ll let you
know when I’ve got more info.
The fudforum software on novabbs creates placeholder accounts for
all usernames from messages it receives. If I disable that,
everything from Usenet, which is pretty much everything, will just
show as 'Guest'.
There shouldn't be an actual account in your name, just a
placeholder, so you should be able to claim that username by
creating it (click 'Register').
For any issues trying to do so, email me at retroguy@novabbs.com,
sending from the email address attached to the account. To modify
the actual username, I'll need to do that, so it would be necessary
to let me know by email.
