My absence and return - thoughts on demolished houses

[worldofneil]

HOWEVER, the items INSIDE the house also being demolished is what really ruffles my feathers. I have a similar story to OP, where I quit 2 years ago then recently came back, only to find out my limited edition cherry blossom trees had been demolished forever along with my house.

Sorry about your items, but even after their email warnings and the actual demolition taking place, you still had another 35 days to login and collect 80% of the purchase price as well as most of the items (which would have included the cherry trees).

I lost my house and all my furnishings. SE's consequence for deleting that was losing my money

I known it's a bit finicky, but you didn't lose them... you've said repeatedly that you decided to give up the house. That's not loss, that's you choosing to relinquish. You had the ability to stop that and you knowingly decided not to.

It's also not really much of a consequence to SE as you'd already decided that you weren't going to renew your sub before they even demolished it! Your actions led onto their actions.

And as mentioned above there was also that window where you could have retrieved the money/items instead of wiping them out completely.

they aren't likely to come back

Free 7-day login or not... you came back :P Welcome back!
