Can you fix my login User name?

@johnpoz Of course, you can try sending an email to this address, but I don't quite understand why you "may lose access to this account." English is not my native language, sorry. The thing is that not only do I not remember the name of the mailbox of that account, but I’m also not sure that I still have access to it at all. I changed Internet providers several years ago and I will definitely never have access to one of my old email addresses again. And if on my original account I used that old address, then there will simply be no way for me to receive an email from you or if I try to recover my password through the forum systems, even if I remember that old email address. One of my old emails to which I definitely no longer have access is volui@akado.ru. Perhaps I will remember some other mailboxes, but in any case, I only have access to email in the domain yandex.ru and @gmail.com. There is also an one address on gmail, but I gave it to my sister, so perhaps letters about resetting the password are now coming to her =)))). I tried to write which addresses I have access to, hiding part of the address with a “*” mask, but the spam filter does not allow such messages.

@Volui-0 that other account only has 5 posts on it - most likely we could just delete that one as well ;) I didn't see when the last post was on it.. When I get a chance I will take a closer look at the posts... Think you can change owner of them.. Only 5 that wouldn't be hard to do manually. Then could delete that account.
I was just curious if I sent email to it, and you got it you could then delete the account on your own if you wanted, etc.
edit:
Just sent email, account is from 2010.. Shame to loose history of how long ago you created an account..edit2: got a kickback, email address no longer even valid.. Let me look if can just change owner of the posts.
edit3: ok I moved ownership of the old post to this account.. But I can not actually delete accounts.. @stephenw10 would have to do that, he is admin.. Global mod can't delete accounts.
Once he deletes it, you could rename this account to not have the 0 on it I would think.

@johnpoz While I was writing you an answer, you already solved the question =). So I was right - the email from that old account has long been lost, then all that remains is to wait for @stephenw10's response regarding the deletion of the old account and then I will be able to edit my name on this entry. Thank you!
-
Or, if it’s not too late, is it possible to simply change the email address on my old account to the current one? Then I could continue to use the old account by deleting this one instead? In any case, let's see what the admin says...
-
Yes we can do that. I imagined you wanted to use the older account with the much earlier registration. Let me see....
-
@stephenw10 Everything works great! Thank you! Can I delete my old account or is there something else I need to do?
-
@Volui do you want me to move your posts over to this account?
-
@Volui ok all your posts have been moved over to this account. We can delete that other 0 account now.
Only issue might have is anyone that used say @ to call out that 0 user will now be invalid.. But don't think that will be much of an issue. You only had like 17 posts total..
-
@johnpoz OK, thank you! Then I delete the remaining account that is no longer needed. Thank you very much again! =)
-
Nice!
-
@Volui NP glad we could help - this is the first time this has ever been asked. At least since I have been a mod, which is wow the time flies.. I know it was quite some time ago, but don't recall exactly when.. hmmm when was that??
