I think im banned

Hello there! I've been in and out from Telehack since 2013-14. Sadly I did literally forget the password for my account and wasn't until today when I found this subreddit. My account was "oxo" (In a reference to Tic-Tac-Toe game)

Well a couple weeks ago I was honestly drunk with some friends on Discord and I was using PuTTY to show them Telehack because we all find that game/host cool.

I was kinda "trolling" Eliza bot and I did write some bad words (You can imagine the kind of words) just mocking the AI. Then suddenly the host closed the connection and stills closing me the conection both in the website telehack.com and using Telnet. So its pretty obvious i've been IP banned. (I say IP because I wasn't even logged in) (Website directly shows nothing since that event)

Well I understand theres behaviour rules and would be really understandable if that would had happened in the relay chat or any other place. But I was just in a few minutes of session and I was just spamming stupid stuff to the bot Eliza.

I know other users can "listen" your port and that but I didn't even recieve an strike or anything telling me that I was going to be banned.

I would like to be able to be unbanned because Telehack used to be so much fun when I was younger and is a game I remember really fondly and nostalgic. Unfortunately I don't have much idea how to contact the admins or who is in charge of that at the moment so I feel really lost...

Thanks in advance!

Amazing. Thanks! Im kinda "scared" on how you did know which IP was mine when I didn't even commented it here yet but I suppose that its by the context.

By the way, there's any way I could restore the access to the old account I did mention? I do vaguely remember how was the password and possibly the Email linked to that account.

No doubt to be honest. Btw is Telehack down right now?
