A small heads up to anyone looking into this website: I do not know for sure whether OP here actually is a staff member at the forum that he is promoting, but do not that this is most likely either a hacked account or a sold account. I somehow missed the negative trust when he initially posted here. I would be wary of using the other forum if he is, indeed, a staff member, as information such as BTCTalk login information could be stolen from you if you use the same information there (which you should avoid doing anyway). It is likely that the forum is being promoted for his own benefit; perhaps to try to profit off it as he sees the income that can be obtained from these forums in advertisements. Stay away.
My bitcointalk account was compromised last year but I had recovered it soon after that. I own freecointalk.org and I have kept it ad free so far and I plan to put up ads if cost to run the forum arise but so far there haven't been much costs. Bitcointalk is receiving donations and still running ads and no one complains as it is their right to earn money for their hardwork.I recommend that members use unique passwords. But, if anyone doesn't trust me then don't bother to register. I'm not forcing anyone.
One thing is that I'm owner of Dailyfreebits.com that is one of the oldest paying bitcoin faucet(3.5 years), I made this community mainly for my faucet members although all are welcome to participate.
If you are, indeed, the original owner of the account and have some sort of evidence to back it up, you should contact the people who have given you trust saying otherwise. As it currently stands, it does not look good to have the owner of a forum or website having negative trust for having had the account compromised. Something like signing a message from one of the older addresses usually does it, as it means that unless you colluded with the hacker, you are indeed the original owner of the account. If you no longer have access to any of your old Bitcoin addresses or if you use an online wallet that does not give you direct access to your private keys, then you are probably out of luck unless you can find another way of proving it.
