Default How do I delete my account???

I'd do it myself, but I don't see an option to do so anywhere. I'm not sure which/who is the correct moderator to ask, so, I'll just post it here, I suppose...Thanks.

Additionally, I assume this will remove any trace of me, including all my posts??? 100% Correct?

Nope. We don't delete accounts as it screws up every thread you ever posted on. Just press "log off" and you are done.

Thanks,

R.

You misunderstand....I don't want to be "done", I want to be erased from existence...I decided I want my privacy back.

Will I eventually, as new posts/threads accumulate, become "erased", if I don't update anything? Or are they archived forever??? I'm asking a serious question, not breaking balls. Not that you can't just tell me whatever I want to hear, but, I'm truly curious...I really don't want to exist in a cyber-social world anymore, if I can avoid it.

Doesn't work that way, the past is permanent cyber history. Change all your info as of today and start a new life but the past is recorded in so many places to disappear is impossible, but to "die" and start anew is an option. Go to any and all places you have personal info and either erase or change to false info to fill in the blocks.

no expert here, you understand, but it would seem the best place to start not existing in a cyber-social world would be to stop posting things...

Wow,
This is fresh. Man Mr 30 did I say something?

I was going to go bounce all the threads you ever started but why burn the band width. Aw hell I haven't done anything really bad lately.

It would help if you withdrew from all the social groups that you belong to and cancel all your friendships...

Or is it because I didn't send you a "Happy Valentines Day" message?

Actually I was just thinking about it and aside from being a little sarcastic like I was before it occurs to me that you simply cannot just unsay something.

years ago I said something bad about a friends mother. What I said was true but it was a friends mom and try as I might I just can't unsay it. To this day it effects our relationship, I think.

The truth of the matter is that what has been tapped in to the computer and posted on the internet is the 21st century equivelent of saying it. It will exist in cyborsoace for eternity just like the words that come out of your mouth.

I guess one could take the time to seek out any and all of their posts on here and delete them. They wouldn't actually be totally deleted as I believe that they will exist some place somewhere on someones server. But it would be worth a try.
