An archived contact means that communication is not possible and will not be attempted (perhaps the person moved to a new site and removed the old profile); however unlike blocking, existing posts this person made before being archived will be visible in your stream.
A hidden contact will not be displayed in any "friend list" (except to you). However a hidden contact will appear normally in conversations and this may expose his/her hidden status to anybody who can see the conversation.

## <a id="q4" />What happens when an account is removed? Is it truly deleted?
Currently the account and all of your content is completely removed from your server. Over time your contacts will notice that your account is missing and will remove it after repeated failures to connect (up to a month). Your entry remains in the global directory however this will be removed manually if somebody flags it as "dead".
This policy has been reviewed and we believe is inadequate. Changes to this are currently being implemented so that in the future (when these changes are implemented), we will immediately remove all your content on your server, and then issue requests to all your contacts to remove you. This will also remove your from the global directory. Doing this requires that your account and profile still be "partially" available for up to 24 hours in order to establish contact with all your friends. We can block it in several ways so that it appears empty and all profile information erased, but will then wait for 24 hours (or after all of your contacts have been notified) before we can physically remove it.
