No need to, there might be some friends, what the current active friend liked, and wanted to see the "Friends for 2 years" thing, its ok to see them in the list. There's my friend who's account got closed, but i often view it. 
They can feel them living in their friends list, 
I think you should leave them cause they might change their mind
I want to keep them.
a) The self closed may come back and
b) for the re-joiners I know their style and may recognize later
c) fair play closure same reason as for b) I can recognize them
d) to count how often I was befriended. Some have developped a passion to open and close an account.
e) memorial friendship of dead friends 
True all of that @ProphetessMio !
I have no problem with deleting them all.
I don't particularly mind about the friends list, I would however be in favour of banned accounts that can't return being removed from my block list (as that's limited to 200 I believe).
i think we should keep'em for now but you can make a button to delete closed accounts of the friends list if we ever want to

We bumped to 500 at least maybe a 1000 and we do already delete accounts who have not logged in for a very long time from your list.

When the founder of a club self-closes their account, does one of the other Super Admins become the new owner? Or does the club have no owner?
Club has no owner then, but you can ask support for handing over the ownership to another SA
@jdcannon - Ah ok, I didn't know that, thanks. I don't think I've even hit the 200 yet and I've been here 10 years, but that's definitely good to know.

Club would have no owner, can contact support to get a new one.
Yes, I'm in favor of deleting them.
Delete them asap please thanks
Hey Chess.comers,
Chess.com is considering removing accounts that were banned from your friends list so you don't have to look at a bunch of accounts that are closed when you are searching through your list.
What do you all think?
- Do you want us to leave them alone?
- Hide all closed accounts?
- Only hide account closed for abuse and fair play and leave those that were self-closed?
Let us know! Thanks!
The verdict is in! We are not going to remove or hide closed accounts from your friends list. Thanks everyone for your feedback.
