Your original account was probably reaped for idleness at some point before that, and '06 was when you signed back up. It's happened to a number of users (including, to much facepalming around the studio the first couple of times it happened, Zoner). I seem to recall there was also at least one DCF update way back when which did a similar sort of thing automatically in the process of importing the user files.

(I stopped running the idle-account reaper a few years ago on account of it really wasn't necessary, and anyway, if I did it now it would probably be depressing. I can find enough depressing in the world today without going out and creating more.)
