I didn’t want to do this, but for some reason my real account **Gangster Octopus** has been locked, meaing I get ads and I cannot post. I contacted the webmaster and have not gotten any reply. This happened after I changed my email address and I assume I was supposed to get some sort of acknowledgment email that I was supposed to respond to, but nothing ever came.

I know creating a second accoutn is heavily frowned upon, but I didn’t really know waht else to do.

I’ll let **Tuba** know, and you could send her an email also.
