I looked through the registration emails and I could not find it, which means it is older than when I took over the site in late 2017. Unfortunately I cannot search in the website for user accounts by email address, and I could not find a similarly named username. The original username with this email address could be completely different.
Please see here for instructions on how to recover your account or start over fresh and request a new registration with a different email address. Thank you. |
Would the registrant with the requested usernames of EarlDumarest, IthorianSpiceMerchant, Hammerhead1970, and Darkvane, please cease and desist requesting a new registration with the same existing email address. If you cannot recover your existing account, then your only option is to request a new registration with a different email address. If you continue to attempt to register with the same email address, I will have no choice but to treat it as spam and block that email address.
As a suggestion, create a google account. It may send Rancor Pit emails to Spam, but you can receive and access them to complete the registration process (and receive PM notifications once registration is complete).
September Edit: The registrants with the requested usernames of EarlDumarest and Darkvane have had their emails blocked for continually attempting to register with an existing registered email address.

I wanted to share this for all lurkers requesting registration as an example of what not to do.
| Quote: | Registration Information
Requested username: [redacted]
Email: [redacted]
Describe your Star Wars fandom. : The f*** does that even mean?
What attracts you to Star Wars D6?/Why do you like it? : I’m not sure why I have to answer that. s***, the only reason I’m trying to register in the first place is because APPARENTLY, you can’t f*** visit the site anymore without doing so. Which sucks @$$, because that wasn’t the case a year ago
How did you find The Rancor Pit? : Googling “FractalSponge starships d6” |
Describe your Star Wars fandom. : What the f*** that means is something that real humans can figure out some way to answer. Sure humans can interpret that question in multiple ways and there are multiple ways to answer that which provide evidence you are a human. Use your human brain and pick one.
What attracts you to Star Wars D6?/Why do you like it? Why you have to answer that is to provide more evidence that you're not a bot.
And bashing the website you are trying to become a member of is a particularly idiotic tactic. You are free to feel that way internally, but use some f*** basic human intelligence and at least pretend be nice on the internet, what you are expected to be if you join this site.
Being a d!ck does not get you want you want here. This registrant has been blocked.

REGISTRATION and LOG-IN
If you are interested in registering for an account here, please follow the process in the post linked above (the OP of this thread). This post is linked in the registration form that pops up from the link of at the top of the forum, so there is no excuse for missing this.
Submitting the registration form is only submitting a request for registration. That generates an email and eventually a human admin manually creates a registration from that request. But your account still isn't activated at this point!
The registration sends an email to you from the Rancor Pit, and you must click the activation link and follow the instructions sent to you to activate your account.
If you don't get an email with an activation link within a week, do not submit a second registration. Email the email address in the above post.
I sincerely apologize if your email service provider sends Rancor Pit emails to spam or junk folders. There were a few factors that lead to this. You used to be able to subscribe the threads and the like, getting an email notification that someone replied. But that generated a lot of automated emails, which looks like spam to providers even though the user had elected to get those emails. That functionality was disabled by the former owner of the Pit before I took over (and I will not reenable it). Another factor is that some former Pit users had signed up for the emails in the first place, but after they stopped being active on the Pit they kept getting emails when the threads had new posts. They could have just logged back into the Pit and updated their profile to turn of those notifications. Instead they went the lazy, inaccurate route and reported Rancor Pit emails as spam to their providers.
I have gone to battle with the email service providers to stop labeling Rancor Pit emails as spam, and I lost. Most do not care and do not even acknowledge the request. Microsoft is particularly fiendish, sending you on an infinite 'wild goose chase' loop to request reinstatement, so eventually I just had to give up. It is hopeless. Even emails from the Pit to my personal email address also get send to the Spam folder.
Now you get emails from the Pit to activate your new registration, and recover your access if needed (which is why it must be an active, allowed email address). And you get emails when someone sends you a PM (if you elect to). That's it. No one is getting spammed by the Rancor Pit (except maybe me, lol).
It is what it is. Even when you use an allowed email domain, you might still have to look for the Rancor Pit emails. Sorry.
