FYI: The humans handling the new account recoveries system which was implemented late last year are a company that Cyrus created called Cryptios. alanst, 3dOOm, and Rizzrack -- the "mysterious newbies" who some people noticed -- are three of their employees.
I believe that alanst is no longer part of Cryptios team. I recently noticed something at his profile, where he states now that he is a "Former member of Cryptios". He also changed his Personal Text, which now states "former Mysterious newbie".
I tried to contact alanst a while ago, but he never replied to my PM.
Having that said, I believe we need an official confirmation on this matter, maybe from theymos or Cyrus.
