* Begin Welcome Back Theme Song *

About 6 years ago I was surfing the net through AOL, of course I also thought frames were cool. During this time I was using the screen name “mkeefedesign” which I always knew would be the name of my design company. Well time marched on as it always does and I left AOL, of course unclear to me was the fact that when you register a screen name in AOL and not AIM it gets locked once you cancel.. not cool.

Well flash forward about 6 years (tonight to be exact) when I was registering a new name I decided to recover that awesome screen name by answering all of the “forgot my password” questions and ultimately ended up at a screen that not only let me reset the info but also re-activate it.

I am still not 100% sure how exactly it was released but I am happy as it works perfectly for my company and it was mine.. so if you have experienced the same situation.. go back and try to recover what is yours.

    Not sure, I have now done it for 2 screen names. Make sure you are entering via the “Forgot my password” section.
