    Anyone know how long un-activated accounts can stay un-activated before they're deleted? Please only post if you know.

    It's random, depending on when your account comes to the notice of TNT.

    For example, I have an account that I created and prompty forgot the password of; the account is now 67 months old and has never been touched. It's not deleted yet, yet some people's accounts get deleted after only a few years.

    From the Editorial a year ago:
    I couldn't find the exact place where TNT said that they would delete accounts that have been inactive for 2 years but seeing this I assume it's true. Also, I did some other research and 2 years seems to be the right amount. They don't delete all accounts that have been inactive for 2 years though. So often and then they decide to delete some accounts that have been inactive for over 2 years.

    So it's best to log in at least every 2 years.. even if you decide to take a break ;)

    Edit: need..to..read..better :arf:

    Oh no I'm talking about accounts that haven't been activated, you know how when you create an account you need to activate it with an email. I was wondering if anyone knew how long an account could go without having it activated.

    Hmm.. so it is not necessary. That page doesn't say anything about deleting accounts that aren't activated so I assume they would only delete inactive accounts instead of unactivated accounts...

    neopets unactivated accounts

    I typed that into Google, and this was the second result. Not very helpful seeing as I got my question from viewing this thread -.-

    Well, I couldn't find the answer to this question:
    What restrictions are there on unactivated accounts?
    I was hoping to make a bunch, not activate any, SS on them, and then transfer to main (through long process)
    Is this possible?
