I can't remember the last time I deleted an account. I only do it for legal reasons. I would probably just visit Reddit less and less, until one day it's for the last time, and I never go back - not even to delete it, because it's just not occupying my thoughts anymore.

Maybe if I wanted to send a message by deleting? But I think most people would just trail off and move on.

I'm actually not that comfortable with the idea of deleting my account. Deleting part of my history especially if i don't really have a convenient way to archive (and see) it isn't something I like. I even still have my Facebook account!

Yeah - it's like getting rid of old photos I know I'll never look at. Just can't.

And the more helpful comments might help someone one day.
