Dear Atari Forum Users,

This Monday, September 24, 2012, we will be upgrading and merging http://www.AtariCommunity.com/, http://Forums.Atari.com/, and http://Forums.Testdriveunlimited2.com/. Users may expect up to a 72 hour downtime as a
result of this improvement. When complete, there will be one unified Atari Forum Community and a Single Sign-on across all Atari properties. The webpages for all three locations will still work after the move.

Please take the following actions to ensure access to your account:

Before September 20th:

If you are a New User, register for an account on Atari.com
• Use the same Username, DOB, and email that you use on the forums.

OR

If you have an existing account on Atari.com, please make sure that the Username, DOB, and Email fields are the same in both places.
• We will be matching Usernames and verifying that they are the same user based on email. If email is not available we will attempt a match using DOB and other account information. To ensure things go smoothly you must ensure that your email and username is the same in all locations.
• If no match is available then we will append the letters ‘_PM’ to the end of your username. You will be able to recover your account by clicking Forgot my Password and then you will be able to email support via filling out the support request form on http://support.atari.com/ to request a username change.
OR

If you have a different username on Atari.com than on the forums, the system will use your Atari.com username as the primary one if both usernames have the same Email and append ‘_PM’ to the old forum account and archive that account. You will have to fill out the support request form on http://support.atari.com/ to access the old Forum account in that situation. An email can only be associated with one account at a time. If you want to keep both accounts automatically you will need to use two different emails.

NOTE: The system will consider Atari.com the primary account. If there are duplicate usernames that cannot be matched, the system will take the user with the Atari.com account first over the user with the old forum account. It is extremely important that you update your emails to match in both places.

HOW TO MAKE SURE YOUR INFORMATION MATCHES
