Welcome back! I just got back as well. I see some of my old neofriends online from time to time, and sometimes I want to message some of my closer ones and see if they remember me?! It feels weird though. Anyways, I digress.
What do you mean by bounce? I actually recently had a similar issue (and maybe it’s what you mean), but I tried to recover an old account whose email was a live address (Hotmail’s newer version), and I couldn’t get the password reset link no matter how many times I tried
However, I was able to recover a different account using the same email a few weeks ago...
New to this board- I've been playing through quarantine, and I noticed that this year, 2020, is more lively than 2016, when I last returned. Last time boards were so slow it was scary.
