Returning members
Old member? Start here.
Coming from Facebook, an invite link or a half-remembered handle? You do not need to understand the whole archive or become a Discord person. Start with your old name and one useful lead.
Fast path
If you have the Discord invite, post your old handle in #find-yourself. If Discord makes no sense, go to #the-blah-blah and type a normal hello.
Try old spellings, aliases, crew names, profile numbers, file IDs, track titles, board ranks or anything else you remember.
In Discord, one sentence is enough: old handle, any aliases, crew, and what room you remember.
Screenshots, MP3 filenames, banners, old URLs, tracklists, public links, or corrections all help.
Do not post passwords, private messages, current contact info, addresses, IDs, or other people's private material.
Post this if you do not know what to say
Old handle: ____ / aliases: ____ / crew or room: ____ / I remember: ____
A tiny clue is useful: a filename, a half-remembered battle, a banner, a crew name or a public profile link.
What this is becoming
New leads are becoming public search pages, exhibit rooms, contributor callouts and oral-history excerpts. Returning members do not need the full release log before they can identify themselves.
Next useful labels: rough year, who made it, room or crew context, public source link.
The public archive publishes credit, title and context summaries. Submitted audio/images, private-room links, current account details and private storage notes stay private.
Coming from Facebook or the Discord invite?
If Discord is weird: you are not doing it wrong. Use #find-yourself for handles, #the-blah-blah if you are lost, and #lost-and-found for screenshots, filenames, banners and corrections.
The archive stays read-only. Discord and Facebook replies are recovery leads, not automatic public evidence. No permanent public invite link is published here. Use the Facebook post or the invite you were given.
