    Maybe he is dead and BC forum will go down when his bank card expires and he loses the domain and hosting.

    Is he the only person with access?

    Added- his profile does say he was here 3 days ago. So in all likelihood he is still alive.

    Apparently there's an extra layer (or something like that) in the authentication process by google. Kwun has tried to sort it out but not sure about the success.

    There's an issue with emails going out to Gmail accounts, and that's most probably the most common email client for people these days. I've already sent Kwun a message outside BC and he's acknowledged it. Hopefully an easy fix.

    The reports of my death is highly exaggerated.

    Still working through the Google authentication issue. They are making things more and more complicated and difficult these days.

    Does that mean signing up with a non-google based email will work better?

    Probably! BC emails just don't reach Gmail accounts. So if you are signing up, wait till the issue is resolved or use a non-Gmail email.
