So even though EVGA remembered my ID and basic profile it lost the full profile and all the posts I had done over the years.  They must have purged me with in the last year or two as I was receiving happy birthday from EVGA Emails for so long then they stopped like a year or so ago.  This thermal pad missing issue got me back to lurk about and I thought I might say hello.  ^_^. 
 
 

Your activity must of pre-dated back to one of the previous forums. They've gone through several forum migrations over  the years. This isn't the same forum CMS that they used a long time ago.

That would make sense why the birthday messages stopped as well.  Seems only my profile name and Email was carried over.
