old account disappearence

[zepherusbane]

Presumably EN World must have cleaned out accounts that hadn't been used for a while. I used to come to enworld a lot years back, when I tried to log in yesterday I found that my account was no longer here and the system allowed me to create a new account with the name I originally had back in 2004-5.

My question is, were old accounts cleaned out at some point since 2005? Or was there a different enworld at some point?

You may have been lost in the Great Crash, when several months' worth of data was lost. I couldn't swear as to when that way, though; but AFAIK ENWorld has always been ENWorld.

Ok, thanks.

I just remember being on ENWorld a lot back when I was much more active than I have been lately. Lost track after getting hooked in to a really awesome gaming group around 2005.

Not since 2003 or so (not sure about the exact date, but it must have been before April 2004). However, accounts with more than 0 posts wouldn't have been cleaned out in any case.

The forums have been using this software since January 2002.

Early 2006.

Well, I suppose it doesn't really matter too much in any case. I primarily wanted to ensure this was the same EN World I remembered and it seems that it is.

Thanks for helping!

It's not, it's an exact copy.

This is the alternate reality ENWorld from the Dark Universe!

You can tell because everyone here has evil looking goatee's...

Funny you should mention that, he he. I happen to have an evil goatee that looks a lot like Spock's did in that episode.... Maybe that should have told me something!!

Thank you. That right there probably explains why I remembering registering an account only to find a year or so later that it did not exist.
