ORIGINAL: LadyPact Let's say that a person created a CM account and had it from 2007-2012. During 2012, the person closes the account. In 2013, if another person starts a CM account and chooses the same exact screen name as the person who started their account in 2007, the screen name/account is going to retain the information of the person who started it in 2007. It has nothing to do with the person who started an account in 2013. It will hold the post count and forum posts of the original holder of the screen name. It's a system glitch. So, while improbable, it absolutely is possible. [/color] This actually happened to a friend of mine. He started up a new account and it still showed forum posts and such from years in the past. The nick he picked was rather generic so we put 2 and 2 together and realized he had used the same nick as a previously deleted account.
