So, did they actually remove it, or not..?
And if it's free, it can be reopened again, right..?
Can you at least share the URL? :^^;:

They haven't removed it yet. I see why they think I don't have a site, I put everything in /forum/ rather than public_html but that was for a reason.
I can see why users have trouble with FTP details... the FTP details have no correlation to the account that I use to sign in...

But I provided you with the actual FTP details which should work (they work for me in FileZilla)

Oh, sorry, I'd simply missed your PM.
Phew...
Took me a friggin' HOUR to figure out what was happening.
Turns out, Wedge won't install on this, because they're just incompetent.
From their phpinfo:
pcre
PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions) Support enabled
PCRE Library Version 6.6 06-Feb-2006
Yeah, not updated in 7 years...!!!!
And because of that, it doesn't support \h, which was added in v7.2, i.e. a year later.
And Wedge relies on \h for many things.
It's obviously something that can be fixed by changing \h to [\t ], but I don't know if it's worth it...
PS: I didn't bother to do the conversion and try to finish the install process... Really, really couldn't bother. Do it if you're curious ;)

How did they manage to get PHP 5.2.4 without updating PCRE?

I don't know, since indeed it's bundled by default... (5.2.4 + 7.2, how lucky!)
My guess, is that they always install PHP with PCRE disabled by default, and they somehow installed PCRE at some point, but long ago, and never cared to update it...
And yes, that totally sucks. But things like that, should be eye-openers for people who use crappy free hosting, I guess..!
There are enough decent free hosts, really, that we don't need to waste time on these ones, so I decided to just give up on this kind of host, it'll save us time in the long run.
Oh, regarding the id_from_member/id_member_from bug... I know why I didn't find it immediately!
As the bug was in __create(), the first thing I did was look for all Notification object instances... But, this particular one was called with 'self'! So, bam... Never noticed it! I should have been more careful, when incorporating the original patch, I guess.

I only found it because I forced every error to include a full backtrace.

So you didn't notice the name inversion either..? ^^
And how did you test, with two local accounts, maybe..?

I didn't notice the inversion :/
I normally have half a dozen local accounts, until I wrote the merge-user code, now I only have two local accounts...
