A new idea: you could try asking in the Help Forum. There's a link in the banner at the top of the page that says "Help." When you click it, you get the main page, and it says "If you're having trouble with your membership, please see Joe's advice in the FAQ." If you've already tried all the suggestions, or if the FAQ times out your computer like it does mine, you could post a thread asking for advice.

Leprechaun, early on, I bookmarked the Help Forum. When the main servers are down, the one with the Help Forum is still often up.
