i don't know how it could have happened either. but when i first tried to create an account i was getting tons of error messages. i repeated the effort and at a point i could no long connect for a few days. i tried from another IP and it just froze up after entering my name a few times. i tried variations until i got a message that i have been prohibited. i've just given up on them and put my files on a web site based on AWS S3. i'm not in need of a versioning and/or shared repository at this time so i'm not worried about this. a plain HTTP storage like S3 is all i really need.
but if someone has a good idea that needs an online repository, i'll have to check out the alternatives.
why would you not use Bitbucket today?

I don't know if they still do, but they used to host Mercurial repos too in case you wanted to use that instead of Git. The major downside is that most people will be using Git.
