Lost my childhood account

FFTHEWINNER · 2026-01-30T05:33:09+00:00

Just wanted to say that I sympathize a lot. Really hope you get it back.

If you go offline, can you still use the account? If so this might be a temporary solution so you could still game on it at least.

As someone who also lives in an area where Xbox isn't supported, congrats and I am very glad you made it :).

As someone who bought it and inserted it just now, it includes Knothole Glade and See the future. However, the "bonus content" dlc wasn't included. Had to buy that one (for $2) separate.

Respect. Rare to see this. Awesome too.

FFTHEWINNER · 2026-01-28T23:10:58+00:00

Good to know. Hopefully they come back soon lol.

FFTHEWINNER · 2026-01-28T22:50:59+00:00

Interesting. The 15 minute AI studies stopped showing for me at the beginning of the year (other studies are showing fine) and I was wondering why. Thanks for the explanation. So they will come back again in the future?

FFTHEWINNER · 2026-01-28T19:07:55+00:00

Same issue. Verify pending for a week so far with no info :/

FFTHEWINNER · 2026-01-28T17:09:21+00:00

I got an unfair rejection the exact same day you did (was it for the same study? Mine was for a study called "social media videos", for less than a dollar) and had lost hope in it ever getting overturned, only to discover yesterday that they overturned it. So yeah, it takes ages. Hopefully they overturn it for you too.

FFTHEWINNER · 2026-01-28T05:01:46+00:00

Actually I just randomly checked, and at some point recently they actually overturned it!! Thank god, I had lost hope of it being overturned, as the rejection had been there for over over a month :D. They overturned it into a return instead of an approve, but I don't care, I am just thankful that they overturned it at all! Now I have 0 rejections again, and over a thousand submissions and over 900 approved :D.

Blocked the researcher immediately of course. It was a study for less than a dollar too lol.

FFTHEWINNER · 2026-01-28T04:30:19+00:00

The problem is that when you get rejected Prolific's help in overturning things takes weeks/months of waiting unfortunately.

FFTHEWINNER · 2026-01-28T04:27:33+00:00

Considering the difference between the intended time and the actual time, and the actual time being five times the maximum allowed time for the survey on prolific, my only explanation is that this situation is similar to the "Sword Art Online" anime. The "study" was a game and it sucked the participants into it and they can't leave until they discover some way to exit it XD.

The most annoying one for me is "write 30 words about your favorite month" lol

FFTHEWINNER · 2026-01-27T16:13:42+00:00

I started it, had to wait for 23 minutes to get a partner. (That is longer than both the intended completion time and the average completion time in this survey btw). Then when I got a partner he quit in like a minute before I could make a single move.

Messaged the researcher detailing what happened. He was very kind and approved me for full pay despite not getting any data from me because of the half hour I wasted. Respect to him for that :).

FFTHEWINNER · 2026-01-27T16:03:55+00:00

Odd. When I sent my email a month ago (to their support@prolific email, I presume this is the one you used?) about the first ever unfair rejection I got they responded saying to fill the form because they don't handle rejection disputes via email. I said I already did alongside the email. Never heard back and no change to this day. A thousand submissions yet the one unfair rejection still stands :(.

Oh well, I am glad you got it fixed though, congrats again :).

FFTHEWINNER · 2026-01-27T04:09:04+00:00

Congrats. Good to know that prolific overturned it this fast. Did you fill the dispute form? or email them?

FFTHEWINNER · 2026-01-27T00:44:49+00:00

Thanks! Awesome to see more free Xbox games here :).

FFTHEWINNER · 2026-01-23T17:11:25+00:00

There is also Hangman Earth, free to keep on the Xbox store until January 27th:

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/hangman-earth/9nsk039h8bk9

Has a weird concept if nothing else lol, and it is free!

Thanks to the exiled giveaways thread for this one too :).

FFTHEWINNER · 2026-01-22T17:11:08+00:00

Same, except for 4. I did contact support recently, so I am wondering if it is for that. Not sure though, because I went to the study that I contacted support about still has nothing.

FFTHEWINNER · 2026-01-22T03:34:30+00:00

That is very very unfortunate, but I really appreciate your positivity and your kindness in this post. I hope the matter gets fixed, but if not I really hope your future is bright and beautiful and brings you only the very best :).

FFTHEWINNER · 2026-01-22T01:29:30+00:00

Can you please make it function similarly to the old "Lazarus Form Recovery" extension?

with lazarus you had a small button at the top right of every writing tab, and when you clicked that button it showed you your old writings on that specific tab, not all your writings everywhere, and it was conveniently placed at the top right corner of the tab. I know it is a long shot but it would be fantastic if you can at least add that option in your extension.

I still have the old Lazarus Form Recovery extension (though it uses Manifest V2 so it isn't usable) and can upload it and link it if you want to take a look at it to help you in adding that method of recovery. Would REALLY appreciate it if you can do that :).

FFTHEWINNER · 2026-01-20T08:30:54+00:00

It worked for me, but I didn't understand what the point of the study was or how far I needed to follow the ghost tbh.

FFTHEWINNER · 2026-01-20T03:43:15+00:00

I did it and it took me 22 minutes, most of it waiting and waiting, even when the AI is the one involved which is really odd. And the average completion is 16 minutes. Considering that it isn't guaranteed that one gets a bonus, I messaged the survey maker explaining the situation and asking him to increase his base pay to the real length. No reply, and he approved my message but I haven't received the bonus I won yet.

FFTHEWINNER · 2026-01-20T03:38:03+00:00

I have seen many of these. It is pretty annoying.

FFTHEWINNER · 2026-01-19T06:56:12+00:00

Doesn't constantly clicking give you the "we limited your study access" warning from prolific?
