In my address book I have the name kai added from ages ago to see if someone had the name or not.

Now I see someone else with the name but it isn't the same profile.

http://forums.d2jsp.org/user.php?i=14888 (This is the original I have in my address book)

http://forums.d2jsp.org/user.php?i=255731 (This user now has the name)

I can post a screenshot of my address book when I am home from work, but are accounts being deleted?

I would have loved to change my name to Kai.

Don't know, just wondering what is happening with names.

After a while of AFK, they will be renamed to something random, so other players can use that nick.

E/

Not sure how many years.

Your mate might be named "Kai78732" now or something.

they more than likely get trimmed / pruned after certain time without activity

When did this change? I was completely unaware of this change.

Edit: Also I am clicking on the profile code. It should always bring me his profile regardless of his name.

Not true. Old user accounts will NOT be deleted/renamed under any circumstances.
As far as I know, there were some problems with database in the past, and some of the old inactive user accounts got deleted. (not by Paul)

I saw one of these topics a while back.

If I'm not mistaking, a moderator replied writing something like this.

I'm 99% sure it goes something like that.
Try PM EpiLoL or someone, he might know :)

Hmm, my apologise then.
But someone wrote this a while back anyway.

Try pm a mod about this then :)

If I remember correct, Paul will change a (very old and inactive) users name, if you want that one (costs fg ofc).
Then you most ask Paul to do it, and it only works on very old/inactive accounts.

I also recall something about rename after many years of inactivity.

But I don't dare to question Sajage :)
