InsaneJournal Announcements

I took a break from IJ for a few months and now I'm back to find about half of my old journals deleted and purged. I understand from a friend who has told me that there was a purging recently and that it was sent out to the email...

Problem is, I've changed emails, so I didn't get any sort of notification. Is there anyway that I can access these journals again? There was stuff posted in those journals that I wanted to save and it's highly disheartening to come back and find all of that stuff gone.

Am I SOL or does someone have any ideas?
