Hi everyone, just wanted to say and see if anyone still remembers me?

I was one of Dakka Dakka's first international members waaaaay back in 1999 under the username Hedgehog, and it's been a fair number of years since I've posted anything here... I can remember when the forums had less than 150 members!

I've been gaming and lurking since, but the launch of 6th edition, a new Chaos Space Marine codex, and a new army project (white Scars) has caused me to emerge from hibernation, at least for a little while!

Unfortunately I've changed e-mail addresses and can't log into my old account, so I'm assuming it's locked permanently and is irretrievable?

**RiTides**

Wow, I believe I do indeed remember you! At the very least, I recognize your Avatar instantly

was that one you used before?

I perused Dakka in that timeframe (which was late high school for me) but don't even recall my username. My brother was much more active, under the handle "HopelessFiasco" with some weird capitalizations.

Regardless, Welcome back!

Unfortunately, the site changed over in '05, so there certainly wouldn't be a way to retrieve anything from before then :/

Be sure to post pics in the gallery, it's a whole new world on here

**Hedgemech**

Hmmm, in that case 2005 or 2006 would be when I was last active here, as I still have a user account on these forums under Hedgehog, I just can't access it!

My avatar is indeed unchanged - isn't he cute?

HopelessFiasco also rings a bell, and I've seen at least a couple of other names I recognise and still active...

**RiTides**

He is absurdly cute

You can send a private message to legoburner (just click the "PM" button on that page) and he should be able to help you get into your account. He's the man behind the curtain now!

If it's just that you've forgotten your password (and lost access to the email address you used to register?) it should be a quick fix

**Mannahnin**

Welcome back!

**Hedgemech**

Thanks Mannahnin, I certainly remember you!

RiTides, that's very helpful, will give it a try...

**Kid_Kyoto**

I remember! Welcome back!

**Hedgemech**

Hi KK! Is MNY still around from time to time too?

**malfred**

Hedgie!

**Kid_Kyoto**

Alas te mean old mods ban people for multiple accounts here.

But Mista Noo Yawk lives on in my heart

**Hedgehog**

Malf - good to see you're still hanging around too!

I'm flattered that anyone still remembers me, it's been so long

**yakface**

If Lego hasn't already responded please email me at webmaster@dakkadakka.com with the details of the old account (what email address it was) and I will get it fixed.

**thenoobbomb**

Welcome back!

**Byte**

Pretty cool that the site is trying to take care of you.

Hello and welcome back to Dakka Dakka!

Fixed! Good stuff.

All sorted, thanks!

Welcome back.

Hi,

Welcome to Dakka

**Waaagh_Gonads**

Welcome back.
Been a long time.

**Hedgehog**

Hi Gonads, good to see another familiar face!

**stormwell**

Hedge!

I didn't know you were on Dakka!

**RiTides**

Well, he wasn't for a bit there

Indeed, it's been about 7 years, but I was one of the original message board members back in 1999...

**crimsonfist832**

Well, I was too young to even know of you let alone remember you, but welcome back to Dakka Hedge! Nice to see some of the original 'cast' returning

**plastictrees**

Hey Hedgehog. We need some kind of avatar for Original Dakka board users. Maybe a middle aged man falling asleep on the sofa at 9:30pm and never getting any painting done...it has to be at least that bad ass.
