will a deleted account free up it's email?
I deleted my account and then attempted to create another account with the same email, but I seem to be getting errors that my email has already been taken. Will deleting an account free the associated email, or will I have to sign up with a new email?

Email addresses are unique for each account and deleting an account only marks it as deleted but no information is removed from the database. The user's activity on the site will be displayed as anonymous, no notifications will be sent to their email address, and their profile will not be accesible or linked to their activity on the site. Site admins can restore accounts.
Let me know if you prefer to use your old account with its email address or associate your old account with another email address and create a new account.

If you can restore my old account ([email blocked]), that would be great.
