The comments on the old OB articles that have been imported appear to be by LW usernames that were created just for that purpose. Any chance of ‘claiming’ those? (my technical spider-sense says no)
We did our best to try to link up OB names with Less Wrong user names. However as there were many hundreds of names this had be done automatically. For a match to be made the name on OB and username on LW had to match, as did the email address on both sides.
If you supplied an email address on OB then that will have been imported and you can claim the account by following the forgotten password process for the account. Assuming it has your email address you will be sent an email and be able to reset the password.

Thanks for all your work on the site!
My username on OB was slightly different. Is there any way to merge those comments into this account after the fact? If not, no worries.
I don’t have any particular interest in claiming the other account if merging isn’t possible.
