Also dont save you login details on your browser, manually typing your
username and password every time you login will implant it into your
memory, you will never forget!
Noted, i won't save login details on my browser anymore from now on.

A handy thread which I have yet to get around to doing myself is to stake
your Bitcoin address on the forum as another level of ownership of your account.
Here is the thread > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.
Also, I will 100% stake my signed bitcoin address for this account, so I won't lost this account either.

You don't need to have a sign message in 2014, example. What you need is have a post, or few posts with that address in 2014 or any year before the hack. Post contains that address need to be original, no edits. It is a plus point if some members quoted it for you in the past. If you pay your attention, you see many people quoted the sign message posts in the topic take your Bitcoin address here

Hackers can edit, delete past posts but they can not send request to other members to delete all past quoted posts relate to the hacked account.

Now, you sign a message with that address to prove that you are the person that owned that private key in 2014 to before the hack.

You signed that message and it proves the ownership on that account, not the hacked one.
Ahhh, now i understand, well sadly there is no post (that has been posted by my old account) that has my old wallet address written on it. But, i do remember that i input my wallet address into the profile page

For reference, here is a look at profile page that i got from Forum account: security, privacy, and recovery:

So i was hoping that the admin or some archival machine able to look it up and ....

Although, after thinking about it again, seems like i cannot prove my ownership of the account, since anybody could change that exact value once they got in into that account. Oh well, sorry it took me so long to realize Grin

Anyway, thank you for your responses, really appreciate it Cheesy
