Frankly I'm appalled that there was no warning that my account would get deleted/wiped/rename or whatever. Definitely not happy with this.
If you get your account renamed (we can do that for you) I can get your posts restored. We sent out an email and had banners on the site (which apparently some adblock users never saw) stating what was going to happen with accounts throughout most of December and the week and a half leading up to the switch in January.
Even with that said, I'm frustrated too and I'm sorry.
Everyone that asked for renames in our dedicated thread has had their posts restored. Those users are listed in the table above. If you want your posts restored and they were not, you may respond here and I can get you added to the list of people to restore. Restorations take some time, with more time being required the more posts you have.
I'm working on restoring posts. I wouldn't expect the same from other network sites, the functionality isn't baked in. Keep that in mind the next time someone says I don't care about everyone here, because I could be spending my Sunday playing games instead.
This is going to be a mess to get going, but it will be done for users who have requested their name back via our nickname change thread first.
If your name is not in the table below, don't worry, you'll be added provided you requested a nickname change in the nick name change thread. Other people not on the list can respond to this post or PM me.
Over the past day and in a process that is going to continue throughout the weekend, some accounts on HearthPwn have been renamed, had their posts wiped.
We ran a banner on the website indicating that the transition was going to happen and for European users, you needed to consent to your site data being moved over to Fandom from Twitch. European users saw a button which was an opt-in for the move.
Accounts that did not opt in to the data move have had their posts deleted and their usernames renamed. Users that received these changes will be now named "user-<number>".
These users may still sign in to their accounts on the site to bring them back (login via your previously connected Twitch account) and we can restore your name if you tell us what it is. If you would like your name back, please do not private message us and instead use our nickname change request thread for the fastest possible support. Additionally, upon signing back in again, your decks will return from the dead. https://www.hearthpwn.com/forums/off-topic/site-feedback-support/222679-username-change-request-thread
Based on feedback so far I can see that people are not happy about the change and that we could have done this better. I don't disagree with you and I'm sorry, it was completely out of my hands.
Posts are a thing we need to do manually. Yours were restored earlier today, a few hours after you made this post.
Your posts have been returned!

It was announced back in early December that Fandom (Wikia) had purchased Curse (the owner of HearthPwn) from Twitch/Amazon. You can read the announcement at the link below.
