As far as Yahoo goes - If you're sure you've done nothing wrong, it may be that someone else has been using your login details to 'damage' their site, and they've banned the user-name. Try registering a new login with them - if that works then you're good to go. If, it still won't let you in - they've barred your ISP. In which case - the only thing you can do is email their customer support centre, (there should be a link on their home page) and explain what's happened.
Ask them to investigate you recent site activity - they will have an 'audit trail' they can look through to see when you (supposedly) logged on - and you can match that with the times you know you were not on-line.
Good-luck with it anyway - let me know if you're successful.

What is the total number of possible games in backgammon -- given all the possible rolls and moves?
The number is infinite because it is possible for each player to deliberately form blots that the other player can hit all of the time, and a game of this sort could go on forever without ever reaching completion.
Can a backgammon stone be reentered on a blot?
You can reenter a piece onto a blot. If it's your opponent's blot, the move captures it.
How do you determine who rolls first in backgammon?
You take one dice and both of you roll it once. Whoever gets the higher number goes first.
Children of 6+ can play backgammon, preferably the easier version, without the doubling cube. And there are easier versions of the game that are more suitable for children of 4-5.
The blocking game - backgammon without the doubling cube, without the "hitting and entering" part (a point with one checker is considered "closed") and without the regular setup. Instead, the checkers are placed off the board, and the players enter them and move them around the board according to the roll of the dice. To block the opponent, a player can add his checker to a pile of 2 or more checkers of the opponent on a point - once one player's checker tops the pile, the second player is blocked and unable to move.
Blocking express - same as the blocking game, except that every double (2's, 3's etc) entitles the thrower to play the double and the higher doubles.
Blast Off - same as backgammon but with no cube, no hitting, no entering. the board setup is slightly different (two more checkers on the midpoint instead of on the 1-point). The first player who finishes bearing off - wins the game.
What is a pair called in Backgammon?
When you have a single piece on any point it is vulnerable. It is called a "blot".
If you put a second piece with it is is called "making the point". Same thing if you move two pieces to the same empty point.
If you have two or more pieces -- a "stack" -- on a point, it is called "owning the point".
When to use bullets vs numbers?
There isn't any difference, but numbers help to tell how many sentences/phrases there are. Bullets tell when you start a new sentence. :D
How many checkers are allowed to be stacked on one point in backgammon?
There is no limit, so up to 15.
But you are unwise in most circumstances to stack more than about 5, because it does limit your options when you have large stacks.
What is crawford rule in backgammon?
In a match play event of the "first to x games" variety, when one player gets to within 1 game of winning, the following game is played without the doubling cube (known as the Crawford game).
If the player who had only one to go loses this game, then the doubling cube comes back into the action, even though s/he is still only 1 game away from the win.
The rationale for the rule can be illustrated in the following example: suppose the score is 15-14 in a 16 game tournament. The player on 15 games ought to have an advantage in the match. But if the doubling cube is in play the other player can double on the first move and turn that particular game into a "winner takes all". Possession of the doubling cube returns no advantage to the leading player, because further doubling is irrelevant to the outcome of the match. This would be quite unfair.

The game of backgammon is commonly known as one of the oldest board games between two players. The game dates back over 5000 years, and many areas claim to have 'invented' backgammon. The earliest known record of a backgammon-like game were the Egyptian/Iraqi games of senet and the Royal Game of Ur, dating back to around 3000 BC. The game of 'nard' was popular in ancient Persia (now Iran) and has been found to be existent in a similar time. The Ancient Romans and Indians of 400 AD had games of backgammon, the Chinese, French and Spanish all had their own variants of the game too. But the first use of the word 'backgammon' was found in the Oxford English Dictionary of 1650, with rules at the time very similar to ours. Overall, we can safely say that backgammon originated somewhere in the Egyptian or Middle Eastern region 5000 years ago.
