Yes, I've read other threads and seen several times that accounts can no longer be recovered. What I want to know is, why? Is account info somehow not saved anywhere? How was it lost? I had a paid VIP account on AT, where did it go, besides just being "gone"? The AT and Molten Union FAQ says that everything carries over but that seems to be wrong.

Also I looked at the donation info on this forum, and I saw nothing warning future donors that previous donors lost their accounts and benefits. I'm sure that is just an oversight though, and I am probably just missing the FAQ where all of this is explained, so thanks if you can point me to something that makes sense.
