My account keeps getting deleted! :'(

I recently just made my THIRD copy of my previous Argon123 accounts because for some reason they keep getting deleted by the moderators after a while. I always have a long list of favorite stories that keep getting destroyed randomly due to these account nukes, and I have to go find them all over again.
I have posted on this website before with the same username, so it's not like I'm making this up. Is there a way for the moderators to connect me to my old account?

Did you only log into the Fiction Archive, and not here?
You have to log into the forums once a year, otherwise, on day 366, VBulletin's setup will delete you as inactive.
Logging into the FA, and not into VB here, will not keep your ID active.

Interesting! I thought it was me going on Incognito Mode which iirc changes the IP address and the mods thought I was a troll. I will try to post more, and more importantly I'll save my stuff somewhere safer! Also, I really enjoy your work, you're an excellent writer!

Aside from what Paolo posted above, if you sign up and then fail to confirm your reservation, I simply delete the account. Did you confirm? I saw your ID yesterday and approved it as I recall. I remember thinking that is a pretty gaseous name -- my front thermal window is full of it.

You can change your own password in your user control panel.

Boo!
It's a shame Andrew isn't here to see that one. It's a real stinker.

I'm pretty sure I confirmed everything, but I could be mistaken.
Funny thing, I made the name years ago thinking it sounded like a Greek or Roman city. I had no idea it was on the periodic table!
