Thanks for all the great responses, every single one of them.

It was just an idea I was throwing out there to see what you all thought. Obviously it's not up to me, it's not my website and as some have said it would probably be impossible to implement.

Let me explain a little more where I am coming from. A member joins makes lots of friends and then something happens for them to make the rash decision to leave and close their account. Hypothetically I am their friend and beg them to stay to no avail. Much upset. Then they reappear with much song and dance and yes I'm extremely happy to see them. They are welcomed with opened arms as they should on a support site. But then looking back, they have done this before and other members have done this also. I am wary and scared to be their friend again incase they leave again. It's a heck of a roller coaster ride to be involved in this.

But some of you have said that you refuse to get involved in this sort of drama, you have taught me much and I will be trying to follow that example.

What I would say/plead is that any member wanting to delete their account - Please think first about just taking a break. Then there is none of the drama or roller coaster ride, you are simply taking a break.

Thanks again to all.
