Subject: How long does it take before an account is deleted?

If you are watching this you have clicked on my profile or stolen this. I dont know why you would do that...

About me? I love Astronomy, I like to play guitar and watch anime. My future lies in Astronomy and so does the future of all of humanity. You should join my Astronomy group Space Explorers.

So I checked out some usernames here on Bungie.net and noticed that they haven't been active for over a whole year and I was wondering how long it takes before an account is deleted.

Anyone know?

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

It use to auto-delete after one year, but Achronos turned it off.

So never.

He turned it off? Why?

cars, girls & cake all day everyday

No one knows. I'll bet it's two reasons; one being the number of accounts getting deleted was dwindling, another being certain inactive individuals too important to the site to have their account deleted from inactivity (like old employee or former moderator accounts)

Mainly for the history. I think one of the things that encouraged Achronos to disable that feature was the passing of a very notable community member.

Well, that all makes sence. However, after a while, a lot of the usernames will have been taken and people will be forced to use "Xcxvx" and all that.

That is the only problem I see with that.

how would you like it if you were in a coma for a year and woke up and all your stats were gone?

Well, excluding the "Coma" part.

Who was it? The one who passed of cancer a while ago?
Nope, BerserkerBarage's account is still around. I believe he died of an infection as well.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

They don't anymore. All we know is that Achronos said that he turned that feature off, about a few months prior to his announcement that he got rid of it.

"Last post: 2.27.2010." In the thread "RIP BerserkerBarage" (which his wife posted in. His actual last post was the 23rd). Looking further than the surface, it's good for you.

I saw, you should have edited your post instead of making a new one. Common sense is a great thing, you know.
