You don’t delete old screen names; just stop using them and eventually AOL will close the account due to inactivity.
Since when does AOL shut down inactive sns? last month i was going through some anicent screen names i’ve used more than two years ago and i still logged on some of them … only problem was i forget my password

This is an excerpt from their Terms of Service (emphasis mine):
Quote:quote:Unless you are a subscriber to America Online (“AOL”), CompuServe, or a Netscape Network fee service, you must use your screen name on a regular basis to keep your screen name and registration active. The Netscape Network may cancel the registration and screen name and delete any e-mail on the Netscape Mail Service of any registered user that does not have a current subscription or who does not use such screen name for a period of 90 days. If your screen name is canceled, you will need to reregister as a Netscape Network user and obtain a new screen name to obtain access to registration based features and tools. If the screen name that you previously used and which was canceled has not been taken by another registered user of the Netscape Network or any of its affiliated services including, without limitation, AIM, AOL and CompuServe, you may re-register with your canceled screen name.My interpretation of this is that they have the right to close your account, although it’s up to them to act on that. The flip side is that they do not state nor promise that they will close inactive accounts.
One of our other members ran into a problem with an old account that he wanted to use, but had (apparently) forgotten the password, and on top of that, the email address he registered with was no longer valid. He contacted AOL customer support, but in the end, nothing could be done to re-claim the account. Pity.
Moral of the story – Keep your emal addresses active and current … it may be a pain in the ass … or just don’t switch emails ever three months.
my friend said that to delete sns .. before u log in right click on it and click delete. I already tired that and im never gonna do it again cause i deleted the wrong one.
All that does is delete it from you’re AIM list, you can still use it, it doesn’t do anything to the account itself.
