Now that's an interesting question. Given that he didn't wipe all his posts and comments as he went, I wonder whether it might be possible to re-create his database record manually?

The simple and official answer is that baku deleted his account and we will respect that decision. There is no such user. There is also no admin tool in our UI that permits this.

But if he somehow reached out to me and requested it, I'd be willing to have an attempt to rebuild his old account. Helping Seagoon_ last week taught me a bit about the user tables (there are actually two) in the database and I think it might be possible. I'm not about to do it without him asking, though.

That’s very kind of you. I’ve seen the time you put in, thank you for all you’ve done.
