I didn't have a problem changing my email when i didn't have the old one anymore. As long as you know the password you should beable to go in and change your email.

Do you really think someone that has long since lost the email they used to sign up with, would remember their password?
 
Two more days. The excitement is palpable.

Actually the situation was made hillarious because I was not serious and thought he was not serious either.

Yeah, it's like when you get in any argument when texting with a girl and one of the two start assuming emotions lol.

All you need to do if your password is saved when you go to login is hit the show password and it will show it. He obviously is logged in so this should not be an issue.

Seems bizarre to being so indifferent to allowing heavy users to just leave.

Why can’t someone explain why 2FA is necessary?

People aren't allowing them to leave, if they're that bothered about privacy all they've got to do is set up a burner e-mail and that satisfies the requirements to use it.

Honestly it's like people not wearing shoes because they refuse to tie their shoelaces.

The trick is to use a freshly created email you'll never use for anything else. Usually you only have to do that for dodgy websites, but a(i)ds riddled Sherdog probably qualifies at this point.

The issue I’ve seen with this is that a lot of email sites now require you to add a phone number to activate the email.


My go to junk email site for years was yahoo.. you could create an email within minutes and be ready to go. Then at some point they were like ‘in order to activate your new account please enter a phone number for security’ or some shit.


Which is the opposite of security for the person signing up.. but there’s money in data mining and that’s what this shit all boils down to. Everyone wants to sell your data. The ‘for safety’ shit is for the majority of people out there who are dumb and won’t question it if a buzzword like ‘safety’ is attached to it.


When anything to do with being online requires you to enter more info under the guise of ‘safety’ that’s code for them saying we want more of your information so we can track you and sell it.

I had a few discussions with them but it mounted to nothing well as you can tell..
They could not get into their thick sculls that they had a forum...
All focus was on the main site.
Zero fucks was given about the forum.

I've always found this strange with Sherdog because I never go on on the main site and can't think why I ever would.
It's always given me the view that the forum just funds the main site where some people play at being "journalists".

Now I could be completely wrong, I have no idea what the main site is like for traffic and ad revenue. I do get people's passion for the forums but there's probably worse issues than this these last few years to quit over.
