It came to my attention that emails sent from Trollpedia would not come through, in fact, those same emails came back to me with this short message attached:

I’m sorry to have to inform you that your message could not

As well as the forwarded email.

I am working to get this fixed, but in the meantime please write down your password on a piece of paper, otherwise, you won’t be able to recover your account if you ever forget the password.

If you do forget your password and are unable to log in, get in touch with an admin to get your account back.
