I used to own this account, but some unknown person hijacked it.

Location: Hijacked
Website: Hijacked

Also:

Exp. Rank: #0

Pretty obvious.

Is there any way to get my account back? it has pretty decent stats so it would be a pain in the ass to start with a new account again, and dont tell me to use the email retrieve pw stuff, because thief also changed e-mail address.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Soon before you know it, they might spam the forums with your account wich might make them ban your account. So yes, Email Wade or PM Tom. Not to be rude or anything but maybe try a stronger password next time. ;)

I would suggest screen-capping the "rank#0" and "Hijacked" things. That counts as evidence that someone hacked it, and you want to get that evidence before it is removed.

That happens when the email address for the account is changed, but the new email address isn't validated. More likely than not, the "hacker" simply changed the email associated with the account to a fake one.
