I need to ask...
how long is an inactive account kept on the records before it is deleted?

I ask because my present subscription expires in November.

I graduate to receive my first degree (network security) in December and my second degree (digital forensics) in April. The monthes leading to these occasions will be full of a heavy class load, jobsearch, and then moving to my new job location.

I very much doubt I'll have much time to devote to online gaming before I am settled into my new job and hometown.

There is no expiration. Come back when it suits you.

Good grief. Someone asks a simple question on the forum and gets two straight answers with no trolling replies?

Your life is over. You'll never afford anything again,
once you graduate and that debt comes due, my friend.
That's all we'll be seeing of you.

Whatever job you end up with better be weighty.
You shoulda stayed stupid like we do.

I can't speak for everyone, but I evaluate each OP, and answer accordingly. If they are acting like a fool, I will answer like a fool, if they ask a good question of which the info is not readily available by a simple google search, I will answer it in a proper manner.

This. Also depends on what part of the part of the forum it's in.

How would you like it if I were to tell you... WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!!

I qualified for a scharship (with VERY tight restrictions) without even knowing the scholarship existed. The people who offered it had noted my dedication to find a job, that I do not touch any drugs (including alcohol), I don't smoke, and I don't curse (well, they never heard me).

I was also one of the strangest homeless guys they had ever seen. I only had the clothes on my back, but I was writing a series of books on the laptop under my arm.

The scholarship is from a christian homeless shelter looking for find ways to help people NOT be homeless. I will be their FIRST Graduate and I am getting a DOUBLE diploma (for Digital Forensics and Network Security) with certificate to back them up.

I was told I would receive a fully-paid scholarship to a technical college. I am staying in a dormitory on campus, I have a meal plan, my book fees are paid (I keep the books), and I will be getting help (on a state-wide and federal-wide level) finding my job.

I admit what you describe would be likely for most graduates, but I did not agree to the scholarship with my eyes closed. I have it UNDER CONTRACT that I will have NO fees to pay back after getting my first job. After I saw that in writing, I LEAPED at the chance (wouldn't you?).

Admitedly, I am still waiting for the second shoe to drop. I came here to start in January of 2011 and I'm about to graduate. They have always been honest and straight-forward with me (as befits a christain organization).

The OP asks a genuine question in a civilised way and gets promptly several equally civil stated and correct answers. Bravo!

After that this thread actually serves no purpose any more, which is proven and shown by some of the posts following the answers.
Therefore, as to avoid the thread going further downhill (thus increasing CCL's workload) this thread gets a lock.

Good luck in you RL endeavours OP.
