The ability to send PMs is disabled for new ("unconfirmed") accounts is disabled because we were previously having problems with spambots sending users "Buy xxx here" PMs. User accounts are automatically confirmed after the accounts have been active for 7 days and the account has a post count of 10. Accounts can also be manually confirmed; I've gone ahead and manually confirmed you, PhantomBMAN, so you should now be able to PM (it's possible you need to log out and log back in to force your session to recognize the change).
A list of all forum mods can be found using
The Team link on the main page. Although the two red "admin" accounts are just alternate accounts used by
Daveh and I when we need to access those privileges. If, on the other hand, you're actually looking for the
wiki admins, those people are listed
here. Most of use do not use AIM or MSN. If you'd like to chat, you can check our
chatroom and see whether any admins are currently active there.

Over the last couple months, more than 40,000 spambot accounts were deleted from the forums. It's possible a few non-spambot accounts were also deleted in the process (although, if so, only accounts that had never made any posts and had profiles that flagged the accounts as likely spambots). However, there were no accounts containing the word "Phantom" or "BMAN" anywhere in those 40,000 deleted accounts, so if you previously had an account here, it was under a different name. It seems far more likely that you're thinking of your account on UESPWiki,
User talk:PhantomBMAN, which still exists and has not been changed in any way since you created it. Accounts on UESP's forums and wiki are separate.

Now, besides the fact that authorized is spelled wrong in that message
If you would prefer to see system messages spelled with "z" and other British spellings, select "British English" as "My language" under
"Board Preferences".

you could just make those 10 posts in the oblivion forum, a few can be posted in easily.
Spamming to increase your post count is against the forum rules and really annoying to everyone on the forums. Not to mention pretty counterproductive in this situation, since PhantomBMAN's account would still be less than 7 days old. (Needing both requirements is very intentional; otherwise spambots could make 10 posts in about one second and then start flooding the forums with posts containing links to every virus-infested, sexually explicit, or otherwise offensive site on the web).
Sorry
