How do you delete your account here? I sent a message to an administrator and asked to have the account deleted but it is still active. I have already ticked people off here accidentally and wish to be removed. No offense but I just plain ol don't fit in here and I'm too old to change. Can anyone assist? Thank you in advance.

As far as I know, accounts here are never "deleted". Even people who are banned still have an account, it's just set to prohibit them posting. If you don't want to be active, I'd say the best answer is to stop posting. Smile

The admins can delete a user totally, but all your posts just get renamed to "Unknown" you only posted 14 times so I wouldn't be very concerned, just go quietly into the night.

I believe you might be able to see your post history and delete all of your 14 posts you have made, I know in PhpBB you can but am unsure what software this forum is running.

But I honestly would say, don't worry. Now if you have a face book account, that information being out there I would worry about Smile

Edit: Well I had a peek, you can click on your profile button and then select "See all posts" While you cannot physically delete the post you can edit them to have no text.
