Papyrus is obviously gone!!

Tried to register or retrieve a lost password on their forums lately? Give it up, they don't send you crap! I've been a paying customer for years now (Nascar Racing 1 on) and have tried and tried and tried till I'm blue in the face and still no emails from them. If you lose your password, they are supposed to email it to you, well, I've been waiting for over a week now. Got a new email addy to setup a new account since my others got the response "someone else using that email or screen name", and the setup went fine until the dreaded "we sent you an email, click on the link to finish setting up your account", well that was about a week ago too. No offense to everyone here, but I rather like going to an N4 only arena rather than wading through games here I don't care too much about. The moderators there (Viper, Dogfish, Lighting) don't even have emails where you can reach them. Sent Papy 4 (four) emails to tech support addys, got 1 automated response saying that the email had been received, wait a day or 2 (four days ago, no response), the other 3 addys came back undeliverable!! These were off their numerous support pages BTW. So, it looks like Papy has pulled up stakes and left town. At least N4 is no more buggy than the last version of N3, it looks like its all we're going to get from them. I've even found my old registration from a screen name that is less than 1 year old (changed name once until latest attempt to re-register) and it says that the password is not valid, and its the one that PAPY sent me. Mark my words, back page USA Today, a few months from now: "Papyrus shuts down after newest release leaving thousands of customers in the dark" best of luck edb PS: Start noting the IP of your servers, the matching arenas are invariable the next to go!

this was almost a word for word repost from last week correct? Eric Busch has been in and out of here every few days so I don't think they have "disappeared." Almost all websites use an automatic system to to send lost passwords. Either the Papyrus site is broken or your email is not configured to receive mail from them, by this I mean, many email providers try to limit spam and THEIR automatic spam killer may be seeing the .com and killing the email before you see it.(AND THAT IS JUST A HUNCH!) So don't email support at papy or support at sierra...the problem is with the webmaster...see if he has a link at the bottom of a page somewhere. Sorry you are having so much trouble...I re-logged in after a prolonged absence about a month ago and had no problem.

You're obviously not good at taking a hint. Jan. =--- PS.: not that I'm an expert, mind. ;-) edb wrote... > <snip>

I respectfully disagree. My email is configured properly. I get email from everywhere (California to Denmark) everyday. To all my accounts no less, a dialup, a cable service and hotmail. So that's not the problem. I don't use spam killer either, you have to activate it which I haven't for the reason you stated, it may filter out wanted material. I'd love to relog, but Papy doesn't seem too interested in helping me out. An automated email return is sitting out there telling people that Papy is working on their problem when they aren't. And no its the not same post smarty, just looking for help in the first one, and telling the truth with the second one. If you'll notice this subject was a declarative and the first was a question. edb Dave Henrie <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:o7Vp6.528743$[email hidden]... > this was almost a word for word repost from last week correct? > Eric Busch has been in and out of here every few days so I don't think > they have "disappeared."
