Hello Folks,

Can anyone tell me how I delete my account. This is my old one I used years ago and I now have a new one. Would like to delete this one and all it's content.

Gassoon,  that link seems to just deal with notifications. A couple of people over the years have asked about account deletion, but I've never seen a way to do it. I reckon it would have to be done at admin level, or mod maybe. Qjay is wanting to delete his account and all its content.

The content belongs to the site. Once it is posted, the author cedes the rights. That's part of the registration agreement. I've not seen any software that provided a way to easily delete all content and it would create havoc with some threads. The author's name gets changed to something like guest, anonymous or something along those lines but the posts remain.
