This is der Spieler here, not der Richter; leave the judging to this guy (& people like that):
It doesn't matter how long someone has been gone (even after changing their handle); whenever they return, there will (probably) be (at least) one other person that remembers (especially if the nicks are similar).
But be well, fella; keep it moving (& welcome back)...
