New Member Question

[SteelCityPA]

I was on the forum and very active at one time, however I had not signed in for some time. I went to sign on today and had to choose a new username. It appears that my old account has been deleted. Was there a purge after a certain amount of inactivity? I've been gardening now for about the past 5 years and wanted to update my signature. 

Thanks for any info.

There was a change in mods/structure a few months ago and a bunch of member accounts appeared to get purged. A few members noticed and commented  over here. If your account has been made "anonymous" I don't think there's a way to recover it. You might DM a mod and ask about getting your user name changed back, if possible.

I don't have any more information other than what was posted above, as mentioned you can send a message to a Mod and ask.

Okay thanks. I had a couple of thousands of posts in the past but had been absent (on purpose) as I was gardening and not tempted to do anything. I'll have to look for an admin and see if it can be restored. 

Thanks.

I suspect that the posts are still there, probably just anonymized as mentioned above.   My guess is that they can't be relinked to your old account but worth asking them for sure.
