    I recently remembered the password to my first Boards account, from some time in the last century (ok, late 90s). Is it possible to merge that account and this one so I have the name and post count of this account, but the creation date of the old one?

    Yes I know its anal!

    Nope
    it's not possible.
    Also,
    it's very bold to have two accounts on boards, a bannable offence in fact.
    Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
    So...
    which one would you like me to ban?

    Well now.
    That's news to me.
    Things have changed in the last two years, now, if we catch a poster using two accounts we ban them, this is due to the fact that boards is a much bigger site and the amount of extra muppets out there taking the piss.

    You'll have to PM one of them and see what they have to say, as they are the only ones who can do it.
    Prepare for a long wait though, these guys are very busy and get an awful lot of PM's.

    Accounts merged - just happened to be passing by - post count increased by a massive 3....

    Beruthiel - I think you should ban him anyway.
