Has it been over a year since you last logged in? Inactive accounts are deleted after one year of inactivity (meaning you haven't logged in).
Are you entering the original username that you signed up for? If you changed your name on your profile, you can't log in using that name - you need your original username.
How can I find my original username? You can either try to find the original email that was mailed to you to see what it is, or you can find an old post of yours on the board and click on the name. This will take you to a URL something like this:
forums.talesfrombandcamp.com/index.cgi?action=viewprofile&user=username
Whatever is at the end is your username.
If you are entering the correct password and still cannot log in, then try deleting your cookies and temporary internet files and try again. Also be sure to read this thread as well:
