Transfer of Perl Monks User ID

by PerlBear (Hermit)
on Apr 28, 2005 at 12:06 UTC ( [id://452268]=monkdiscuss: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Hello Fellow Monks:
I believe that this question is directed towards the "powers-that-be" (the mighty ones who manage Perl Monks).
THE QUESTION:
How do I transfer my stuff (posts,reviews,etc.), or at least most of it anyway, from one userid PERLscienceman to my new one:PerlBear ?
THE RATIONALE:
I lost the password to the first account that I had, (PERLscienceman). I attempted to go through the password recovery option, whereby the password is sent to my e-mail account, but the associated e-mail account is long dead, so that attempt failed. The concept of starting over from points zero or even a lower points standing where I am at least able to vote does not bother me, but I would at least like to have the posts/reviews that I have previously written transferred to my new id. Besides, on an aside I like this new id name better, it will fit well my previous coveted user image, but alas, that is only an aside to the true reasons that I have mentioned above.
THE RESPECTFUL PLEA:
If this is indeed possible, I humbly ask from the powers-that-be that it be made so.
Thank you.

    If you can convince the gods that the old userid is also yours, you can ask them to give a new password to that user.

    If you cannot convince them about that, I don't think they'll move your old posts to your new accounts either.

    This seems about the same as Wanna be me, see my reply in that thread.
