Other people, like me for instance, would be too paranoid for that and insist on regenning the game (after I had created a new race, of course). A host who refused to do so would then leave it to the player to suffer through or drop out. Rude and crude, but that's the way life can be at times. It just sort of depends on what type of host you want to be. Do you defend the rights of the one, the rights of the many, or your right to host the game YOUR way? So many choices!

Regenning the game because *you* screwed up is not a given, IMO. If *you* had followed game directions, then you would have made sure your race is password protected before submitting it. Right? With this in mind, and the fact that it would be a inconvenience to everyone else that didn't screw it up, I'd take it in stride and continue the game if the host/player that found it actually contacted me in the first few years of the game. Just that action pretty much indicates that the host/player will be fair about the whole deal. I certainly would not expect that the game be regenned! That takes time, and ends up wasting other peoples time, including Ron's (Thanks for providing AH, Ron!).
This is not "Rude and crude", *that* is life. The host's decision should be based on the good of the overall game, not 1 person. OTOH, if that 1 person decided to "publish" the races details and generally be an ass, then yes, regen.
Not trying to offend here, but your attitude seems very self centered. I equate it to wanting a turn regened because *you* screwed up your orders at some critical point in the game.

Talk to your players via email and find out what they think should happen, if that is the sort of host you want to be. Those who choose to not respond are voting "don't care".

I have hosted several games. No response does not necessarily mean "don't care". You will most likely get an ear(eye?) full after you decide to regen...
