a crap.... i havent been on here in a long while... im an old school player from olympia... i had tons of posts and it was like 5-6 years old at least... if there anything you can do so i can at least post on marketplace ... or do i really have to wait 90 days??? the ID was Quiksilver , if somehow can be looked up ... i dont care for the account as much as just posting on market. let me know , thx !

When i search the name it still comes up in topics i posted before , just now i show up as guest... wonder if you can restore that... that would be awesome.

The name still shows up because the posts are stored in a different table in the database, the references are still there so the account doesnt show up as registered but as guest ( not registered anymore ). As for the restoration, vbulletin doesn't offer such thing afaik. Devile may be able to do so from an old backup but I don't think he will do so.
As for the market place issue, you do have to wait 90 days and have to get 50 posts.

We won't be restoring old accounts, mainly because we have no means of verifying you are the person you say you are.

Once an account gets deleted, it remains like that. We do have backups, but restoring a single account without restoring the whole database (and losing everything that changed after the backup was made like threads, posts, new accounts, etc.) is something I will never try. If the account doesn't show up in the Member List then its gone. Sorry.
