There isn't really a process for it and certainly deleting posts is not something any forum usually does when a user leaves (as it leaves every thread they participated in full of gaps). If you are determined to burn your bridges, you can:

1) Remove avatar, signature and all other personal information from your profile.
2) Empty your private messages then turn the feature off.
3) Change your email address in your profile to something non-existent.
4) Change your password using a strong password generator to create some random PW you haven't got a chance in hell of remembering and copy/paste it. If your browser asks you if you want to store it, decline.
5) Log out and clear any cookies for good measure.

You have now rendered your account unusable.

Before you take the dip, however, bear in mind that closing down an account and resurfacing under another user can be frowned upon in the absence of any reasonable justification for the identity switch. Multiple accounts for the same individual are generally not welcome.

For those that wish to, the recommended method is that you simply stop posting and the door is left open in case you change your mind later. We all occasionally need a break from different aspects of our lives even I've taken the odd sabbatical from the site ;)

Vbullitin's adminstration has the option of deleting users, so it can be done.


I'm sure it is, but I'm not so sure it's amiga.org policy to delete user accounts. It never used to be, at any rate.

I would like my account and all post and pictures from it deleted for good.


It's going to take a metric ton of Broccoli before that happens...

No don't disable it. I'll just do what Karlos suggested. There are a lot of good people here but this place is being over run with a small group of folks that are going on a path that I strongly don't agree with. Time to move on........


Don't do that, mate. This is the Amiga user community. You'll never get more than half a dozen of us in one place at once to agree on what day of the week it is, let alone what the direction of our platform shod be. It has never been any different since the original commodore went under. If you made it through the next gen fights, this is nothing. If that argument doesn't sway you then consider the fact that by leaving, you're only helping this "small group" by leaving.
Personally, I reckon it's best to let each to their own. The CUSA stuff doesn't rouse my interest, but to others it may.

Hi,

@Firedawg

I'm with you, I am staying.

Just because Karlos doesn't play nice, I won't leave.


Hey man, I could always just ban you for giggles... How about that for a misuse of power?

:hammer:
