Not that i've tried it just to see what happens, but i guess that anything linked w/ ur Windows Live ID will be deleted as well.

Why are you deleting your Live ID?

The one and only.

Hey does anyone know how long it takes for a B.net account to be deleted? I was just wondering because I accidently made a windows live ID and went on B.net and created Arclight 71 as my account name not knowing how to unlink my gamertag from my Hotmail account I deleted the ID i made and right now im stuck with Arclight 92 when it really should be Arclight 71.

Names should be reusable 6 months or so after deletion of the account. It might be shorter than that. However you may have to wait for the account to delete itself off of Bungie's servers, which takes a year. You could be waiting for a year and a half, but that's worst case scenario.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

Jesus goweb, I haven't seen you in ages. Where've you been? Good to see you.

Sadly, yes. To avoid this however, simply go into your gamertag and change the email address to another one. This will, in a sense, unlink your gamertag, allowing you to delete you Windows Live ID. If you are wondering how to do so, send my a Private Message and I will help you as soon as I can. =), it's been a while since I had to write down the steps, so that is why I am not writing them here.

It may take a few days to process the deletion of an account. Due to the checking, and re-checking to make sure the account is no longer active.

Someone really should put a warning or something on the account creation page.

From out of the primordial mists, IT returns.
You're still listed as a 'Sleeping Moderator' in HFCS. As is lukems. You should get stosh to fix that.
