    Default What Happened to Me?

    I registered here about 3 years ago, and stuck around for about a year and half. I wasn't all that well known, sure, but hey, I racked up quite a few posts. Now, I come back, and I had to reregister. It's as if I never existed.

    What happened?

    We usually don't delete the accounts of members who've ever posted at least once. Who knows though.

    Well, I was a frequent poster when I was here. I think I was on the top 25 for a few seconds one time. But, hey, I'll just stick with this.

    What was your previous name, was it Rei or was it some other name?

    Don't you keep logs of what you do? Prune = deleting an account, right? Well you can remake accounts and add the post count or whatever right ?

    It's be nice if the logs were that detailed I think vB3's are more detailed than 2's anyway (not sure if they're detailed enough as to list every user deleted in a mass pruine though), but even then, restoring accounts isn't something easy to do.

    I think user accounts are deleted once the member gets married or something.

    Restoring accounts is pretty limited, right? You can't change the...user number (ie: Dr Unne is #2), but you can change the join date. Anyway Rei's got his account back so whatever

    Yeah, it was Rei. But, hey, it's all good.

    You can likely change a user's id # if you directly alter the database. And you'd likely seriously mess crap up doing so. Restoring deleted accounts is likely impossible short of doing a full database restore from a backup.

    Besides, nobody knows what your username and post counts were, so who cares?

    I remember a Rei from a very long time ago. Everyone's post count is 0 now, so it doesn't matter. The only other bits of information that makes a user account unique is the registration date (I can change that), username (I can change that), other profile information (you can change those yourself), the posts you've made (most if not all of those have likely have been pruned by now), and user ID number in the database (not at all important to anyone).

    I had the Sephiroth with the orange background and red drunk, embarrassed, or whatever lines on his face. I hung around the old FF's a lot, was, I admit, a wee bit insensitive.

    Well, it doesn't really matter any more, does it? I suppose it's better to start anew anyway.
