If I subscribe can I get my old hacked name back?

I used to be BendiBus but couldn't recover my password after the great hacking incident of a few years back. Must have signed up with an ancient email address. I want to be BendiBus again! If I subscribe can I get that name back or is it forever locked away? I'd love to get my post count back too :)

Yes, you can get the names swapped.

But you have asked hello at boards.ie yet about getting the accounts merged?

Thanks.

hello at boards.ie? Never heard of it. Is that like an email address or is there a Hello forum somewhere?

But wasn't there some data protection thingy preventing access/merging of accounts without proving I used to be BendiBus?

I'm referring to the email address. And they'll need you to prove who you are, but there's no fundamental obstacle to merging the accounts.
