Unless you or someone else can access your old address your coins are gone. :-\

Exactly. Once the coins are sent, they can't be rolled back.

Do you have a backup of your wallet from 2011, 2012 etc?

Sad news if you have no access to your old address mean you lost all your coins now no person can help you about this

Why don't you have access to your old address any more? Did you remove the account wallet that had that address?

Did you keep the private key to that address somewhere? Did you export it from the website? You should always backup your keys in case something like this ever happens again. The old keys, if they are backed up, will allow you to easily restore access to those coins.

If you did not store those keys anywhere, and you shut down the online wallet (which effectively destroyed it), I'm afraid those coins are gone for good.

It may be worth noting that this isn't the first time (and sadly won't be the last) something like this has happened.

For future reference don't delete old wallets even after youve moved the coins on. Theres no reason not to keep a copy somewhere, it doesnt even need to be encrypted if its empty.
