Hi

The old story; no access to old email and password forgotten. I did manage to merge the classic work units from my old account to the current one, but I have a problem. I wrote a public profile to the old account like 7 years ago, and I want it removed. Not the account, but the profile. Is this possible ?

Thanks.

Not unless you can access to the account to modify it. The admins could do it, but they are too busy just keeping things running to provide this kind of individualized service. Seti currently has more than 700,000 Boinc accounts, 170,000 active users and only 3 admins/developers working with a shoestring budget.

I'd still like to try to contact them, I _really_ want it removed. Is there an email address or something, I couldn't find one nowhere.
