Did you access the forum via tor normally when you were using it previously? Or did you access it from your local internet connection? Even if your IP address were to change, the ISP you are using would show as being the same, along with your general location.

Being that you opened this thread years ago, it may not be unreasonable for either of these to have changed, so you may not pass this verification.

Considering the amount of time that has passed, I would strongly encourage you to create a new account. You would probably be legendary by now if you created one in 2017, or close to one.
