I would suggest keeping a better hold on your password. If you ever get your account back change your password immediately, because you have just told thousands of visitors and members alike what it was. 9/10 says it's your friend, Sarah. If you and your friend share the same password or if you hide your password somewhere easily seen in your house, it would have been easy for her. If she is also an admin tell her to activate your account immediately. If she refuses or hesitates with an excuse, it is most likely her.

You probably went against forumotions rules ending up in your forum getting banned.............................

If Your the Founder of the Forum, No other Administrator can edit your profile....but they can do it if they get your password so your friend Most likley found out your password.

I meant my username and password is the same on her not my password is peace I am leaving at 1:45 to go to Sarah's house for her be-day party and we are activating it and I'm changing my password. Sarah is on the left of my avatar. tehehe I still need help tho and she doesn't know how to do it Dawa

She can just go to your profile in the admin panel and change your password.

by Peace June 22nd 2008, 10:42 pm

No she can't only the adin can. My whole Ip adress is ban. I'm leaving @ 2 so I can unban my Ip address, then I can go under me change my password to something I have NEVER used before log out and make sure I do. Then I can make sure EVERYONE is a mod not admin and so only me and Sarah are admins!

by crystal786 June 22nd 2008, 10:50 pm

But you just said Sarah is an admin!

by CANADIEN June 23rd 2008, 2:25 am

Ok. Do you both use the same computer? If so, then you are in a pickle Wink

So does she just not know how to un-ban someone? Or does she not have administraton powers?

You can't ban an Admin. this once happened to me go here and sign in with your site name and the founders password they used when they signed up. Then click back up file and click clear all bans or something like that.

Not to be mean or anything, But I would not give out your password of your forum on here for public users to see. The password may be used for other things when people have it such as hacks. Next time think wisly about what your going to type.

I really dont know what happened, This may be a glitch, because the Owner/Founder can not get banned from (s)he's site. I would get help and restore your site, maybe it will help.

I DIDN'T GIVE OUT MY PASSWORD THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!!

Hi Peace,

The forums don't expect the founders to be banned, unless you banned yourself. You must have "slipped a thumb" and possibly ban yourself. I can't guarantee on how you got banned, as it's not very simple. A possible way to find out passwords is a SQL inject, which would make you vulnerable to any threats, such as password changing, etc.

Thank you for the question and we hope your problem is cured,

Luckily last night around 10 I was able to figure out which of my 4 email accounts and all 10 possible passwords which were right. I was able to backup all bans and truth is Sarah and I did do it. Before I trusted Pinkie_Poof (someone who I had to delete on my site) and she got mad at me and said fine delete my account and ban my IP address: here it is like i care!!! Well she was an admin who found out my IP address and made me and Sarah ban that by mistake. I feel really stupid and Thx for the help anyway!

<3 Peace
