: Why would a web site keep my signup information for a limited time only? I have just created account at (some web service, well, actually it was Transifex, a localization service). Registration

That simply means after signing up with that website you'll be getting a verification e-mail, so if you did not activated your account in 7 days they will remove your information and account will be disabled, I had a live chat with one of their employee, you can try doing same.

Just for your info :

They are probably caching your information so the information you used to sign-up will be reserved until you activate the account, prior to that date they will block anyone who attempts to sign-up with the exact information. An example is email address, websites will block people from having multiple accounts linking to one email address.
