Sometimes Alex takes awhile to respond.

In any case, I'm sorry that happened to you.

I think the advice for you to contact Alex was probably wrong - I don't think he'd have the ability to fix this.

I would suggest that you should just keep using this new account.

Sorry that this happened to you.

I don't have many deailing with PHPBB (I normally use MYBB) but most forum softwares allow admins to change email addresses directly from the admin control panel.

Alex probably has the ability to fix this but he likely doesn't have the time or concern to. He's been very uninvolved with this site for a long time which is some of why it's so glitchy
