How do I recover a blackpeoplemeet sign in that's been lost?

Genuine question about recover a blackpeoplemeet sign in that's been lost — I do not have a strong view yet and I want one. I do not need a feature list on blackpeoplemeet — I need to know about actually getting anywhere.

I am coming at this from the options here, so adjust if that changes your answer. I judge blackpeoplemeet by one thing now: whether the time it costs improves or worsens once you are past the novelty.

Where I need help with blackpeoplemeet:

• Ask most of us posting here what blackpeoplemeet is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived
