Hello all, recently signed up for yoinked.org, but stupidly only saved my email in my password manager, instead of my username. The site allows you to to reset your password, but you're still on the hook to remember your username. From my searching, there is no support email for this site, and tickets must be made internally.

Something sort of related: Can anyone here validate the legitimacy of yoinked and yuscene? I ran into an odd situation with these sites:

I have an existing account with yoinked. I recently went to sign up for yuscene recently and found that I was already registered to that site with the same credentials. When logging into either site, the UX/UI is essentially the same. Quite odd to me. Almost to the point that points to a honeypot situation.

This is highly unlikely, I'm guessing you're probably misremembering something.

This is because both of those sites share the same codebase which is UNIT3D, developed by HDvinnie. UNIT3D is a popular codebase for trackers along with Gazelle.

You can check other torrent sites that share the same codebase through this spreadsheet - https://hdvinnie.github.io/Private-Trackers-Spreadsheet/

I assure you that I'm not misremembering this as I recently started seeking out private trackers and only have applied to yoinked. Your follow up with the code base is reassuring though. Thank you for the information.
