Securing Your Z8 Account
Since there seems to be plenty of people who are trying to get back their accounts and not having much luck, here's a short guide on securing your Z8Games Account.
[size=+2]Email Account[/size]
First off, make sure the email account that is linked to your Z8 Account is valid and accessible at anytime. If you do not have a usable email address linked to your account, make a fresh email right now at either Yahoo or Google(They're fairly easy to create ad maintain), and link it to your Z8 account.
Now, click My Account at the top of your page(If you're logged in, which you should be) click the Account Management tab, and click Change Email Address.
Update it with your newly made email, and that's one step closer to securing your account.

Next, you need to update your Security Question Answer. I'm not sure if they have a simple way to update that information, but what I do is send Z8 a support ticket, requesting to change my security answer. Be sure to ask nicely. Once you've gotten your Security Answer, on to the next step.
[size=+2]Recording Information[/size]
It is extremely important to have backups to your email address and security answer. Write it down by hand and keep it somewhere safe. Also, you should have a recovery email address for your Z8 Email, I would set it to my everyday email. Locknote is a good program to keep important information in a locked file. You can find it if you Google it, easily.

Lastly, don't be dumb and give in to scams offering ZP or money, you will most likely never meet anyone that you encounter on the Internet. The point is, never give away any information associated with your accept. Z8 staff will NEVER ask you for information regarding your account.
As long as you don't give away your:
1)Email Address/Address Password
2)Security Answer
3)Z8 Username and Password
Your account will most likely be in your possession forever. Well, that's it for today! Thanks for reading.
Tl;Dr: If you didn't read this. You probably don't care much for your account. Take care!

It would do lots of people good to read this. Though it might make it more friendly in a better colour.
Will you give me permission to edit it to make it more colorful? -

this was my account:http://clan.z8games.com/charstat_cf.aspx?usn=11153657
this guy stoled my best account and i wanna punish him for what he did to me...repply please
But you tried to sell the account which goes against the ToS of CrossFire that you agreed to when you made an account in the first place. No one will help you, because you tried to sell the account, when it was not even your own property. It is G4Box, Inc.'s property and you were illegally trying to sell it. I'm sorry, but your account is gone.
Plus you necro posted.
