Hello,

Does anyone know how I can delete my account? I emailed via the contact us page but just got an automated reply?

If someone could let me know I would be happy.

    I don't think you can, the old accounts just sit there unused.

    Why do you want to delete it?

    Go to change password, hit the keys randomly (don't peek!) then click save. Job done. :)

    Or sell your account to one of the trolls :rotfl:

    Just send them an email saying you are going to troll the boards then they will soon delete your account.;)

    What is it with this liking for In The Night Garden? :confused::)

    I always get the impression that Ragdoll Productions use a very random way of creating the character names in their kids shows...

    Can someone who knows MSE well answer me a question? Under what circumstances can a pesron have an account deleted? It's just that i've noticed an account of someone has disappeared and wondered how

    Sometimes this happens when people are PPRed. Sometimes the account is still searchable under the Members List, but I have seen a few examples where you can only find the account again if they are already in your contacts list. ;)
    Gone ... or have I?
