"Merging" accounts?

[Rivvon]

Well, I just finally realized I had an account previous to this one on here, and I was wondering if it's okay for a mod/someone with high power to "merge" this account with the older one (transfer post count, then delete old account) and if it's whether or not it's against the rules to do so.

We actually don't do mergers now, and we haven't since at least 2003. Sorry. ^^;

We don't merge accounts unless there is a very, very good reason for it. You'll just have to continue using this one or switch to the old one--whichever you prefer.

That seems strange. Why don't you merge accounts any more? That seems like a great idea

We've had too many cases where there might be a server hiccup during the merge, or something might screw up, and people's accounts have been deleted because of it. So that's why we don't do them anymore. :x

If it's that you want to use the old username with your current account, you can use the name change thread to change the old username to something random and then have your current username changed to the old one.

Well that makes sense. Then it's a good thing you don't do 'em any more. :]

Thanks for all your responses, everyone! :]
