Deleting accounts doesn't mess up any threads, like this thread. It just changes to anonymous, with no profile information. Post stays intact.

As you can see here, I only change the username to "Anonymous" on request.
Some people that asked for their account to be deleted managed to get it anonymized, although it is pretty rare to see, and I haven’t seen any anonymized accounts that did not take place quite a few years ago.

And if you want to see another strage combination, take a look at SyphirX's case (conserves the name, tagged as guest, and profile not accesible):

There is barely anything archieved from the early profile ID numbers that lead to one of those "The user whose profile you are trying to view does not exist." Type messages. I did find one though: https://web.archive.org/web/20120326034624/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=407 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=407).

It turns out to be @SyphirX’s account. That account is not accesible, but does preserve the username tied to his posts (for example here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=407.0). On this same thread there is a post by "Anonymous", which I figure relates to a requested to delete account as per the quote at the top of this post.
