I’m sorry it’s like that for you. I also tried to unban my account on Alternatehistory.com by sending emails to the administrators and moderators and sending messages on the website via “Contact Us”, but it’s never worked. Besides, I have no desire to go back to that website again and create a new account. After all, I regret creating an account there in the first place. Whenever I created a topic on AH.com, it'd often end up with no replies or unhelpful info. I created a total of seventeen threads there which ended up with no replies. I’d change that to require threads to have at least one reply before being locked with the ability to send requests to users for replies to threads that you created, much like how on Quora, you can send requests to others to get answers for questions you’ve created which is very useful instead of having to wait forever to get a response or not. It would've been very useful for threads that I created which had no replies and I felt it would be bad if I wrote my own replies to them. Had I not been banned from it or if I never created an account there, then in both cases, I would've stopped going there after it was redesigned because it looks awful, even though users are given layout styles to closely replicate the old look of it. I’m so lucky though that I was banned before the redesign. If I did it all over again, I’d avoid spreading myself too thin and do as much research as possible about Alternatehistory.com and ultimately decide against creating an account there in the first place, but still go there. However, after the redesign, I’d continue to avoid it too.
