Hey everyone, I am here to share my opinion and experience on Account merging, more about your own account being merged with an other account-person, you don't have access to log in with. 3 days ago or so I was checking as a guest the forums CF or other name admin community again, and noticed a topic of mine that I clicked on was now under a other username. I toughed what the hell, a bit more browsing I found out it was merged with the new owner, (3d owner of CF-AC) StephenM. 1300+posts, actually my work in the site merged with that guy. All my guides and stuff, all credit is gone to me but now to him, all my work gone to his name, and access. This is really something only an unexperienced webmaster would do. I dunno why he did it, but its like one of those moves you do if your bored or something, or even stupid maybe. It alot better to register with a new account as new owner of a website instead of taking the ex-owners account. And you know WHAT ? I was not even owner, I was the owner before David, and David sold it again. The new owner took the account of David and had around 200 posts, so I don't know why he also took my account. You should know I was inactive after the day David sold the board, and the new owner fired most staff. But still that is no reason to take my account into his own account regardless of being owner of everything on that site. I am not trying to create some drama btw, just sharing the latest blunder I don't want to see happening too any of you!
It happens, unfortunately our hard work can be taken away by a forum administrator within 2 seconds, it sucks but there's nothing we can do about it.
