Does anyone have any insight into how long the entire process spans, more specifically what amount of time it takes of total inactivity for an account to be deleted?

Thanks in advance.

I believe it takes a full year of complete inactivity for an account to autodelete.

2 months of inactivity to become absent.

That's all I know.

I believe it is a year of inactivity. Although, as I recall Achronos said they removed the account deletion process.

2 months of inactivity until absent. Achronos turned account deletion off not long ago.

To become absent, it takes 2 months of inactivity (see here). Accounts used to be deleted after one year of inactivity, but account deletion has now been disabled (see here).

Cause they want people to be able to have their accounts?

I always found it annoying when I looked at old posts and there was no way to tell who was talking unless the post was quoted.

Though I do wish account deletion would come back-only on the forums, their names remain.

I have 92 alternate accounts, which are all being essentially wasted.

It's no sweat off my back, but I can imagine it eventually becoming a problem.

...Why do you need that many accounts?

At least now I know how long 'absent' membership takes (2months). Not sure about deletion though

The beta is super awesome. RogueAssassin27 is now the person who got my Totodile's nickname. Hoo-hah! Relevant.inb4lock

Hmm, I didn't know account deletion was deleted (lulz).

Based off prior knowledge: 2 months of inactivity for Absent, one full year for deletion. However, being warned or banned in a period of absence renews the time limit back to zero.

Example being GamerJunkieJim, who I believe, I forgot who did so, banned him every now and then to save his account for his inevitable return.
