I can explain that.

When developing the new site, I didn't have direct access to the 
accounts of the old site.  I captured the information by simply 
screen-scraping it.  Any time I came across the name of a person (a 
submitter or a commenter), I created it as a user.  If it was a 
submitter, I associated the submission with that user.

When the new site was activated, people started logging in with new user 
id's and submitting images. It's very hard to automatically match up new 
users to old users, so I've been doing it on a pre-request basis.  I 
have an admin function where I can locate an old user and re-assign all 
of the submissions for that user to a new user name.  I just did that 
for Robert.  If anyone else notices that their old images aren't 
associated to their new accounts, let me know and I'll fix it.
