It was a combination of things. I hadn't actively used the forum for numerous years. And then the change came and when I decided to login, I tried using my login and I actually got a message saying I didn't exist. So I created a new profile as Yaz19. While putzing around I looked for old stuff using my Yaz username and found some oddball stuff including the actual profile. But sadly, 90+% of my activity was gone. I did get the Yaz account restored however my #'s from Yaz19 were reverted to my post count from the old account. It is a mess and I will just live with it.
But I did become draft eligible before I got the original profile restored.
