I think it’s best to restore it, I would have just used my throwaway otherwise and I discovered that I could still log in by a fluke. Although I was enjoying being anonymous while it lasted. Why aren’t deleted accounts just taken off of the database entirely? That seems like a holdover from using Reddit as the forum engine.

We still use the account data for spam-detection and a bunch of related things. So that’s why we keep the data around. Will restore your account.
Ha, if it’s any condolence I did delete the account myself three-ish years ago.
