Please accept the fact that this is not all about because of the name
its because of the merit why member's want's to recover their old accounts.
There are lots of ways to at least get a similar name like your old account such as adding number and others.
Before, people dont bother to recover a "member" account because they dont give value to that rank but now we can clearly see the result of the merit system, day by day passing by it is getting more harder to get merit's at the same time there are account's getting banned because they dont obey the rules.
This is a good sign that BTT forum is getting more cleaner day by day.
By the way I still hope that you will recover your old account especially if you dont violate any of the forum rules.
Also, in the near future theymos will release a system that helps staking an address and easily proving that you own that account.
It will be very helpful for those user who got locked account's without violation if this system already implemented.
