If 2 people with the same IP register the second gets flagged for review before the new account is approved. I assume this is the issue you are dealing with not similar names. Your brother will have to wait for manual approval.

Ah I see, mobile internet. Do you have a dedicated line you can register from (such as a house).

Reactivated your account and changed your email back to its old one. You can probably reach me faster in scumchat next time, I know you've been in there before.

Thankyouthankyouthankyou! And scumchat hasn't been working for me either. Anytime I log on, no one else is there. I blew it off the first time as me just getting on at a point where no one else was, but I tried it twice more and it still didn't work. I did just reinstall AIM. Is there a certain version I need?
When getting into the room, exchange needs to be 5, not the default 4. That may well be what you are doing wrong.


newest aim can't use exchange 5 either. Try something like pidgin.

Just a reminder that we would like you to PM or post about hydras whether they need activation or not, so that we can make sure the proper associations are setup.

Hydra's should be going through here regardless of competence. They need to be properly configured as hydras instead of as alts.

I understood what you meant. But your post seemed to imply had you registered it as an alt, that you wouldn't have come here to mention it, thus the wording in mine.

Posting here only matters if they haven't been properly configured as Hydras on the back end. I got you correctly already, I just wanted you to use this in the future.

If you are using a hydra that you never posted about here, then it's configured as an Alt. This should be fixed and could get you in trouble indirectly in the long run.

For instance, there is a feature we have turned off that lets someone switch between alts/mains at will. If you have someone on a 'hydra' that's an alt, it would give them access to all of your accounts if we ever turned it on.

Hydras need to be configured as hydras. If you didn't list them here or PM me or flay they are almost surely not setup as hydras.

There is no automated hydra process because unlike alts which are verified with your mains credentials, there is no easy way to verify participation of both heads without building a 2 step process which we've been too lazy to do. If you configured your account as not an alt and put the names there, when we manually activate it we see the names and would configure it as a hydra. I don't go through the records of every accounts thats registered though, so if you register it as an alt (which is in effect lying) or if you don't get flagged for some other reason, you by pass the process.

associated it as an alt and resent the activation PM. We don't do username changes outside of extremely special instances because it makes it too hard to follow past games.

Ok. Someone explain why this is a thing when the account is marked as an alt and an existing account's username/password are provided. What is the point of this check.

No, I mean you fucked up entering the account//password, or didn't register it as an alt at all. I didn't make that form, but it's unintuitive in that if you fail the capcha it auto fills everything else but doesn't refill the alt stuff. I'd assume you filled it all out, fucked up the capcha, got the 2nd capcha right without realizing you alt stuff got blanked, happens often enough.
