So I have this twitter account that is about 4 years old and recently the original domain that we used for email was put to rest. Of course I am a bonehead for not changing the email address in twitter before the domain expired, but frankly I set the account up so long ago, I never considered it would be an issue to let it go and then edit my twitter account when the new email domain was ready to go.<p>Anyway I went into twitter on New Years to update the address, and changed it. As soon as the screen updated I got an over capacity message. No, problem it happens.<p>Next day try to login and no luck. Still over capacity.<p>5 days later, and around a 100 attempts to login later by me, my staff, two friends, and a small dog, still getting the over capacity message.<p>So that is when the true insanity begins.<p>I contact twitter and of course they said, reset your password. BUT, the password WORKS. How do I know this? I update twitter from a third party provider who will remain nameless so as not to make this post seem a commercial plug. We send out about 30 messages a day through this provider, and it has a real nice interface that lets us queue up a ton of tweets ahead of time.<p>I went into that account and reauthorized my twitter account with NO ISSUES using the exact same account name and password I have used for YEARS. No problem.<p>So I says to Twitter, Account Name and Password WORK FINE. I am AFRAID to reset it because the original email address is no longer available, and besides I tried to change it 9 days ago anyway, to the NEW Address when something went terribly wrong.<p>And now every stinking time I login I get a frigging OVER CAPACITY SCREEN.<p>So of course the next message from the twitter help bot is "your browser is outta date, update it". I use CHROME.<p>And so I login again with THE LATEST GOOGLE CHROME UPDATE WHICH OF COURSE IS ALWAYS THE LATEST FRIGGING UPDATE CUZ GOOGLE UPDATES IT WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT and...<p>AND,<p>wait for it....<p>Twitter is OVER CAPACITY.<p>So then I send twitter a request that says, "Hey! How about you take this UN/PW of mine and login in with it and see what you get. I know its good because I am able to connect through this third party service, where I just tweeted about this entire episode, (included the tweets) and the LOGIN WORKS JUST FINE...<p>And guess what they sent back.<p>"Please request a NEW PASSWORD"<p>OMG someone please shoot me now...<p>This account has about 6000 followers. At least 50% are not hookers, or MLM sales freaks, or how to get a million twitter follower liars, and I would still like to "OWN" the account. It has a real nice name that I like. But for some damn reason that escapes me, Twitter is:<p>OVER CAPACITY....<p>Ugh....<p>INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE...
