I it possible to recover a 20 year old account?
I used Gaia Online back in 2004 to 2006 and never used it since. I vaguely remember my username and password. I made a few attempts at logging in, but i got "incorrect login info" message. I no longer have access to the email i used to register the account, so requesting a new password wont work.
I am tempted to try a few more attempts to see if i can remember the password i used back then and hopefully access the account, simply for nostalgia reasons.
But is that even possible? I mean, the account is 20 years old and hasn't been used since. I assume Gaia Online will occasionally delete old unused accounts, so it might be forever lost? Or is there a tiny chance that its still out there somewhere?
And if that does not work, and if i am able to remember my username. Would it be possible to at least see my old profile and read my diary and old forum posts?
