Life In 19x19

Is it possible to retrieve an avatar from an expired account? Or are they deleted?

I would imagine they are deleted. But even if they are not it would almost certainly require the intervention of someone with access to the database, and that probably would not be forthcoming.

I assumed the same, but I thought it might be better to put the question out here.

They are deleted. But sometimes they slip through the cracks and aren't. Give me the name of the deleted account, I'll see if the avatar is still hanging around.

If there is a new account with the same name, then the avatar is definitely gone, because it would be overwritten.

Sent you a pm, although the pic is probably gone.
Thanks for the reply!
