Getting old account back

I was bored one night and I remembered how fun it was to run and maintain a shop on neopets, so I decided to try and get my 5 year inactive account back. I guess I didn't realize how hard that would be. So, a little background information first... I made this account when I was 9 years old. My baby sitter showed me Neopets and set up my account with her email since I did not have one. About a week ago I tried to get back the account. I sent in a email asking if it was even possible to get a long inactive account back. 2 days later a Neopets staff emailed with a form to send in. This form included what was your last remembered password, neofriends you remember, what is in your safety deposit box/bank and so on. I answered all of these questions but I couldn't send the form through the email the account was set up on for the reasons listed above. They then replied saying I had sent no information to them. This made me think that they just skimmed through the email and didn't actually read it. So I sent another one again explaining why I couldn't send them the form with the original email account. I also included more information like my pin number and what is in my inventory. They replied back to me another 2 days later saying " Sorry, we can't help you" I can see why they are so stringent on giving accounts to people that have been inactive for a long time, but come one! I gave all of the information they had asked for, except for the email address. Even then I remembered the last word of the email address. I guess I will have to start a new account :(

A friend of mine got her very first account back fairly recently. She has been playing 9 years according to her main. I think it just depends, like Dimitri said, if they have started to purge the account, then you won't get it back. Good luck to starting again. Enjoy neo! It can be great fun =)
