Question:
Do the individual posts that still exist for the deleted user still contain a user number?
If yes, then maybe there is a way to create a new user and then user the "Merge Posts" function to reunite the two?
If not, would it be possible to create a new account and then do an SQL command to update all posts for particular old user name to the new user number and name?
I don't know the answer to these questions.
