First, please keep in mind that accounts and IRC nicknames are two different entities, while it is possible to register IRC nicknames to your DareNET account.

That said, we do not ''expire'' accounts. However, we do consider IRC nicknames expired after 60 days without use. Nicknames which are at least two weeks old, and which were last used less than two hours after their creation may also be considered expired. These limits do not apply to staff-reserved nicknames, which are allocated and dropped as needed. Also, if the nickname you want to register is the same as the someone's account name, or someone's alternate nickname, and it's the only alternate nickname they have, we may be reluctant to drop it, even if it's expired.

If you're trying to get a nickname expired so that you can register it, please state your request in #support or e-mail support@darenet.org
