It would be nicer to reclaim your previous account ng0.  I see that
you had registered a gpg key with your ng0 account.  Do you still have
access to that key 0x02A296150C201823?  If so please send us a signed
email (by any method I can verify) with this request and we will
reclaim your previous account.

Unfortunately there is a problem in the system where things can get
stuck betwix and between.  Your account activation of the new account
is stuck in this stuck state.  We could fix that.  But I will wait for
your response to the gpg question above first.

I take social engineering attacks to take over other people's accounts
seriously.  But also with sympathy to the people trying to recover
their own accounts.  There are other ways that we might verify your
account access.  Such as through https://people.pragmatique.xyz/ng0/
or https://gnunet.org/blog/8872 or something showing a long historical
presence using that name.  But if you can use your gpg key then let's
do that and stop there. :-)

Bob
