I admit, out of frus­tra­tion and des­per­a­tion, I was being a bit overly dra­matic.  Although I had for­got­ten exactly who, I knew that some­one on my friend-list worked there.  I also real­ize that there are prob­a­bly peo­ple there who can actively look at the prob­lem, as opposed to Dodge­ball, which really feels like it’s rid­ing the rails with­out a dri­ver.  (I believe most every­one left there ’round about the time your account migra­tor was put in place.)

The his­tory is pretty much nil, which is part of the rea­son why I kept ask­ing myself “is it really worth it to solve this prob­lem?”  I cre­ated and used an Upcom­ing account for a sin­gle event, prob­a­bly about a year ago.  I don’t think I’ve logged in to my Yahoo account in at least as long (although I did log in last night to reac­ti­vate email, in case it was try­ing to email me some­thing there.) I’m directed to Yahoo to log in, return to Upcom­ing, am asked to cre­ate or asso­ciate an account, was told that the account I wanted to cre­ate was already taken (because I for­got I had pre­vi­ously cre­ated one), so went to asso­ciate it, couldn’t remem­ber the pass­word, clicked to get the pass­word reminder email, the link in that took me back to the same ol’ create/associate page.  I kept doing that and guess­ing pass­words until the account got locked for too many bad passwords.

I filled out the sup­port email form thinger last night, so it’s pre­sum­ably being looked at by the right folks (I don’t know how big Upcom­ing is.)
