Hey Cjj,....to reactivate your old account you'll have to ask Admin to do it for you!! He is the only one with the 'power' to restore your original account/handle!!
As far as your JMR thread is concerned, it was taken down once you asked to retire!! Although I have noticed that I do have the 'power' to restore it myself, but I'm not authorized to do so without Admin's permission!! ....besides it wouldn't make sense to put back up until your first SN is reactivated!
BTW, I told you this once before.....welcome back, you've been missed!!
This is the editting message for your JMR thread!! See below!........
