tenasha12:
As kwzh said, it sounds as if you had a Gas Buddy membership using a different screen name and that, because your account "had gone ca-blooey" (whatever that means), you can't contact your two buddies, one from somewhere in the United States and one from somewhere in either the United States or Canada.
Sorry, but even if they, by pure coincidence or chance, happened to open a topic titled "Help", there's little chance that they would know that this one isolated member from Manitoba (you) were looking for them.
First, I would do what kwzh suggested, and contact the moderators and see if they can restart your old Gas Buddy account.
Second, if you want to try to contact these two random buddies, you might want to start a topic in either Off Topic or Just For Fun (or in whatever discussion categories you used to "talk" to them in) with a better topic title than "Help", perhaps something that might get their attention. Perhaps something such as "Manitoba member looking to contact former buddies concerning (whatever topics you talked about)". While it's a shot in the dark idea, it's better than hoping some isolated "buddy" from somewhere in the United States or maybe Canada will open your thread titled "Help".
Moderators:
Just a suggestion that moderators should move this topic to Talk Back To Us (or close it) and consider contacting this member to see if the old membership can be reinstated, perhaps using tenasha12's e-mail address as a reference.

Hi, tenasha12. You didn't give enough information about your situation, but I'm going to guess that you previously had a membership under a different user ID, but you can no longer sign on using it, and so you created this new user ID to post this message. Is that correct?
If so, then the right way to proceed is to contact the moderators (using either the Inbox link at the top right corner of this page, or the Contact Us link under Help) and give as much information as possible about your previous account -- they can help you get back there, and then the new account can be deleted. Your buddy list should be intact.

And this is in no way a suggestion.

My word - 3 posts and two are about finding someone here from what, nine days ago???
Maybe if you post a gas price or two, the long, lost friend will de- cla-blooyize and magically reappear.

And all of this happened in only one month. She had only two friends in the whole world and now has lost contact with them. It must be a terrible blow.
Perhaps a mod will take pity, send her an E-mail (if she left her address) and find out how to "de-ca-blooey" her account.

"Could be incorrect area..."
yes it is....and that is the only thing in your post that makes any sense.
