Re: A personal history through my top 25 albums

I saw one of your reviews on RYM and figured I should check if these forums were still alive and kicking, and of course they are. Nice to see you're still writing fantastic reviews; I've gotta give EXORCISM a listen for sure.

That's really odd. Even when I manually override all forum and user settings, I still cannot send bootsy a PM. The only thing I can think of that might help is a reactivation; do you have the correct e-mailaddress linked to your account so you can receive a reactivation e-mail?
