and14263 New Account Not the Same Old Me

So I was an avid member for YEARS with my username "and14263"... I just can't seem to get back into it. Alas, these things happen, what positive in my life are a few flags and stars anyway?

I've missed this place. So I have decided to come back to see how things are going.

I'm a changed man. Or maybe I have reverted back to how I was when I first joined this place, maybe it was 2008 or 2010 when I joined originally.

I'm back meditating.
I haven't drank alcohol for nearly 600 days.
I am much more chilled out.
I have no inclination to argue, condescend or denigrate others.
I see great benefit in loving my neighbours and forum members no matter how much I disagree with their opinions.

From the bottom of my heart I hope you are all doing well.

Some of my fondest memories of the forum are from Christmas time, general banter with forum members, probably I was too drunk throughout most of my time and the memories are hazy. But I do have good memories.

For those who I chatted to, if you are still around, I wish you peace and prosperity.
For those of you who I naively disrespected, I am sorry for not being able to control my behaviour and letting negative emotions rule my head. I won't be doing any of that again.

Now I explore the forums and see where we are all at!

(If anyone knows how I can get my old and14263 account back with all my beautiful flags I would be eternally grateful )

You cant, as the site is on it's last legs.

I do find it interesting, how many people had "extra" accounts on here, that are logging in.

Thought that was a no - no?

Nothing against you OP, just interesting all the things popping up like this, since the site broke.

Wow, over a year from signing up with this new account, before your first post!!
Welcome back, I recognised your username, from way back, just without the added 'a' at the end.
...can't help with the old account access, I think you have a chance if you still have access to the old accounts email, the mods fixed loads after the last ATS disaster!🤣👍

what made you wait a year to announce this miracle?

what happened in between?
