I finally got some closure on this from Twitter. They delivered the bad news to me in August:

singaporeano, I got a similar email from Twitter Support yesterday. I just sent them a link to a query for my name at Summize.com who has archived all my old tweets. For example: http://summize.com/search?q=kweiner – Ken Weiner, on June 25, 2008 15:43

I finally gave up on waiting for Twitter to solve my problem. I decided to just sign up again with the same username that Twitter had deleted. Luckily it was still available. Unfortunately, I've lost the 200+ tweets from my account and I have to start all over again with following people and having people follow me. Maybe someday, Twitter will restore my old data, but I hope they're smart enough to do it without wiping out my data from today forward!

It has been 5 days since the first response to my support request and I'm still without my Twitter account. I'm curious if any of the others that said they have the same problem as me have received any support from Twitter. If so, please post here.

Twitter support emailed me this evening confirming there is a bug:

"Thanks for your email. This is a bug; we're working on fixing it. I'll be in touch with you when we've resolved it. Sorry about that, and thanks for your patience!"

I really hope they can restore my data.

A comment on the problem "My Twitter account has disappeared!" in Twitter:

This morning I tried texting a tweet "I no longer exist on Twitter!" from my phone. Twitter texted back, asking me to reply with my username. I replied with "kweiner". As a result, I now see this one tweet on http://twitter.com/kweiner, but all my followers/followees are still gone and I can't login. Twitter must have just replaced my account which means I have to start all over. I hope I didn't make things worse. I am just going to leave it alone until I get a response from them. – Ken Weiner, on June 03, 2008 16:52

Thanks mdy, I did file a bug on http://twitter.com/help/. Hopefully I'll get some kind of response soon. I hope they have database backups. I'd hate to have to create a new identity and reconnect with all my followers/followees again. – Ken Weiner, on June 03, 2008 14:49

My Twitter account has disappeared!

As of this evening, my Twitter account seems to have disappeared. I can't login, and I can't see my public twitter page at http://twitter.com/kweiner. According to TweetScan.com and Summize.com, my last tweet was on 5/30/2008 even though I've been texting tweets ever since.

I tried to reset my password via https://twitter.com/account/resend_pa... but it just tells me that it can't find my account:"Oh, snap! We couldn't find you!".

Is my data lost forever?
