The hash (trip code) rotates routinely so Q shouldn't have the same one anymore.
However we need to look at two things. First Q always said "no outside comms" which means, he only posts in one place. If he only posts in one place, then he must, absolutely must, have some kind of authority or control in the place from which he posts. If not, then anything he ever said at any point is suspect.
In addition to that, Q knows that the average person isn't cryptographer and/or doesn't work in IT and therefore doesn't know how hashes, salted hashes (trip codes) work. So he would, presumably, have a way to get his old Trip Code back in order that his posts line up with the "person" that we're expecting to see them from.
Let's be honest, if the guy and his team are able to have half the impact they say they are having in the world and in the United States, then getting your old Trip Code back would be as easy as stirring sugar into your coffee.
then he must, absolutely must, have some kind of authority or control in the place from which he posts. If not, then anything he ever said at any point is suspect.
He must? What about after "his" power base lost power i.e. was removed from office? Would you expect "him" still to have control then?
A few counter points:

Yes, I do remember them. I work in the DoD.
You work in the Department of Defense? Like THE DoD?
The DoD is HUGE. I was a Korean Linguist / Signals Intelligence Analyst in the Army and now I work at an agency that is part of the DoD, so yes.
Amusing attempt at mockery though.
EDIT: You weren't being mocking. My apologies for the misunderstanding.
Hundreds of thousands of people understand hashes. It’s a basic coding principle
