A few of my friends (GTBMuckface and BitchiBee specifically), and I'm sure MANY others, don't know or don't have the email address that they signed up with. I'm making this thread in an attempt to alleviate the millions of threads, even though they'll probably still pop up. Is there anything they can do, or are they SOL?

There's more people in this situation than I expected and will now be linking them to this thread and this post, specifically.
While there may be other ways to verify identity, the only other way to go for now is if you can verify your identity in some way to a moderator. And if that mod is willing to vouch for you, they will send me a pm.
In some cases people aren't receiving the pw reset emails. AOL users, for example. I'll verify these manually for now.
with so many people in this situation, we'd obviously like to help people verify their identities, but in these first few days of coming back there's just not enough manpower to make it happen quickly
Mod note:
Bobo Fett can help, once your temporary account has PMs enabled. Please provide as much proof as possible to demonstrate that you are the owner of the account you are trying to access: registration email address (even if you can't access it), DOB, infraction/warning history, people who will vouch for you (along with contact info for them if necessary), anything else you can think of that make it obvious that you own the main account.
Once you've had your account fixed up so the registered email address is one you have access to, you can use the
password recovery form.
