Except Kirupa’s logo. hahahaahaha  
Anyways, I tried to log on to my LEGENDARY kirupa profile from 200x, and its all different. Is this the future? Is there anyone left here that I know?

Looks like your original account is linked to a Hotmail address…

Welcome back! 👍 😅

Mine is too… I think I lost my first 3-4 years of emails because Microsoft wanted to ditch Hotmail in the early 00s. If there’s a sane way to figure out how to restore your account; Kirupa/senocular/me/etc. can do some sort of account merge.

What brought you back through the nostalgia of the official Flash Player demise or did you return to [submit more stamps](https://www.kirupa.com/lab/kirupaStamps.htm)? 😁

jesus christ @prg9 you just know exactly how to rip the bandages off don’t you

I miss the KF looking the way it did in that screenshot, such formative years.

BUT

It doesn’t matter because its what led us all here. So thankful to see you @prg9, and @krilnon, the fact that I can type an @ symbol is doing some gooey things right now…

Woah! Welcome back after a long hiatus @fasterthanlight32 😛

Do you know what e-mail address you originally used to sign-up? What e-mail address would you like to switch to? That will allow you to reset your account.

I still have mine from that time! Transitioned right into a live account (though still a @hotmail address). You got the short end of the stick there. I’m still rocking it like it’s 1996.

I too lost a bunch of e-mails from the hotmail era because I stopped using it and my account auto-deleted everything. I had a redirect set to send all new e-mail to my Gmail address, but that didn’t count as me being an active user.

Most of the early e-mails from this site’s early days were lost. All those ezboard notifications…😢
