I was just wondering if it is possible to recover an old account of mine that I had when I first joined this site?

Only if you know the old account name and the email address you used to sign up. You can click "forgot your password" on the login screen.

Recovering old accounts is hard in general, because Unas would have to trawl through some databases to get it.

If you don't even have the username, then yes, recovering the account would not be worth the effort unless under exceptional circumstances.
