Answers.Text: 24 years ago the FIDE floor was 1800 so either you are talking about some other rating system or your memory is faulty, to put it politely.

  <p>6 years is not that long for FIDE. They still have <a href="https://ratings.fide.com/profile/42582245/chart" rel="noreferrer">their rating records for you</a> and when you resume it will be with a standard rating of 1450 and rapid rating of 1442 unless they apply the anti-deflation adjustments they were talking about a few months ago. In that case just over 200 rating points would be added to your ratings.</p>

  6 years is not that long for FIDE. They still have [their rating records for you](https://ratings.fide.com/profile/42582245/chart) and when you resume it will be with a standard rating of 1450 and rapid rating of 1442 unless they apply the anti-deflation adjustments they were talking about a few months ago. In that case just over 200 rating points would be added to your ratings.
