This is probably in the wrong board, but i want to know how to delete my account here at this forum.

Ive looked around the User CP section with no luck.

Thanks in advance.


Ignore.

some posts further down have been deleted, too.

  • You can't. Just delete your posts and don't log in again. Or get yourself banned by posting spam.
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.

    LOL.

    Thats not quite the response i was expecting.

    I dont want my account here. Banned, redundant or otherwise.

    There has to be a way of deleting it. 99.9% of message forums allows members to [rightly] delete account they no longer require.

    Thanks

    Ok. Well, good luck with that.

    If you no longer require it, just stop using it and never return

    You asked the question, you got the correct answer.

    Please don't slam the door when you leave.

    Good luck
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    That's 93.3% on your figures, then, rather than 99.9%.
    ;)

    Don't disagree with anything else you've said, though. But you can't do it. Not something that's ever bothered me, but I can see why it might bother others. But equally I can see how it might be disruptive to the forum.

    If,...IF forums like this get hacked (and forums get hacked all the time) i would like to think that my sensitive data is not compromised. Removing my account from a forum i dont need to use anymore removes all future anxiety if said hack happened. It could easily happen.

    You have THREE posts other than those in this thread. And one of them is only two words. Would it kill you to remove those posts yourself?

    Then just change your registered email address to one you don't use.

    93.3 or 99% - doesnt matter either way, and theres really no need to break trivial matters down and come across ostentatious, but yes, im glad you understand my perspective on this matter.



    Thanks. :)

    I will delete my posts (except this one). Something i forgot to do before, but deleting my account would be much better.

    What about if anyone has quoted you? Who deletes those?
