Hi everyone. I used to be Thaedos here on CYS, but after some difficult life events, I went on a long hiatus and couldn't remember my password when I came back. Seeing as there's no password recovery function, I was forced to make a new account. If any of you have an idea as to how I could get access back to my original account, I'd appreciate it. This was my original introduction post if anyone's curious: http://chooseyourstory.com/forums/message.aspx?MessageId=5912

I know all my old information, from my full name to my zip code to the e-mail I signed up with, which I still have access to. It's a real shame I can't just get the site to send me an e-mail with a way to reset my password, but oh well.

I hope to get back into creating stories soon, but I'll wait to hear responses here first, mainly from 3J as I see he's now an admin. I'm also wondering if he (or anyone else) could answer my original question I had when I joined this site. That is, if I write a story here, can I later use that story for a commercial purposes such as a book or game (even just publishing it elsewhere without profit)?

The terms and services suggest this isn't allowed without the permission of HALOGEN STUDIOS, which I assume consists of the people who respond (or don't, seeing as I never got a response from them, ever) to the Contact Us link. It makes little sense to me, so I assume it's meant to keep you from stealing another person's work, but I'd appreciate some official word on the matter. Thanks.

Yeah, dude.  That's an excellent question - if I remember correctly, the creators said something about it not being a problem.  Though, I know that's probably not a good enough answer.  So, hopefully you can get something more solid, but you shouldn't have any problems.  I think one of our oldschool guys has published some of his stuff, but I'm not 100%.  Maybe Madglee or Paul, dun remember.

Aside from that, I think JJJ's the best person to ask for a password recovery kind of thing for any immediate help, if possible.

Thanks for the reply man, I appreciate it. I think you're probably right, but I'll wait and see what others have to say too. In the meantime I'll just work on drafts of my stories in wordpad.

Thanks a lot for the reply 3J, that helps a lot! I'll be sure to send you a PM, as I would like to hear official word from alexp, but you've certainly alleviated most of my fears. I should be able to start working on my stories again. The account loss of isn't a big deal, as I'd only gotten a small portion done before my hiatus. I've been careful to make sure I'll remember my password this time so it won't happen again.
