This concerns those who at one point had a forum account, then deleted it then made another (with the same name or a different name).
I can reattribute your old posts to you.
This will do two things: #1 Increase your post count as you will have the older posts too #2 Changes the poster of the old topics to your user (meaning the user is clickable once again for players).

I already did this for @Fractalion and @VikingEatsMeat today, let me know if there are more of you who wish this.

They didn't. This would only happen if you had an account in the past and for some reason it got deleted.

I'm not sure if you can reattribute my old posts. If you can't it doesn't matter.

done.
Not sure if it worked as I couldn't find any of the posts you made with your previous account

Thanks!
Could be battleaxium. I think I had ~2000 posts. Might be permanently lost.

If you locate a post made with your old account, point me to it and I'll see what I can do.

I think I deleted my account at one point. Can you look into that?

They didn't. This would only happen if you had an account in the past and for some reason it got deleted.

That's weird, I haven't deleted my account but I only have 94 posts on here...
I know I was close to 1k.

Same here. I had over 1k posts and now I have drastically less.

Can't seem to find any old posts I made. But, I remember my forum name was battleaxium (no caps) and @spen96 changed it to BattleAxium before I deleted that account.

I think after a while the posts get deleted even from archive and then don't count on post count. I had more than 1.5k before i left 6months ago.

Oh, thank you, I appreciate it!

It was fairly recent though and sudden. Look at Towelie's post count, it was 20k not too long ago, and now it's down to 6000. There was a massive old post purge all of a sudden that killed everyones post counts.
