mmm.. i thought i would check just for fun.
it seems my account is gone too :) shameful. thankfully i have mirrored everything i need on my hard drives over the years. i wonder how many non USA based people got removed because of the filtering system?
That's very, very bogus, IMO. I don't know what kind of data validation occurred that would kick out your account. Unfortunately, I don't have sufficient access to look up your account to see what happened to it, but I'll pass this on.
it would have been better to send an email to the accounts that were to be "removed" and have a "click here to keep the account open" type page... but, instead someone decided to just zap the accounts.. thats bad
Agreed, although we have suffered from a large number of bogus accounts being created over the life of the developer program, ones with bad email addresses or contact information. Still, I don't know why your account and those of other active developers was tagged as bad.
do you have any idea how many creator id's i've registered over the years? i dont even remember them all.. it'll be a nightmare to track them all down; too many.
Well, we still have the info from the old system, so if you create a new account, just let us know and we can look that up.
it may even be feasible to re-activate all the older accounts. i just tried to register and it still wouldn't let me in.
What do you mean by that? It wouldn't let you register at all? If so, what kind of behavior did you see?
