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 ;)

Why would you even want it removed after 8 posts? Just don't log in and continue your life.

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.

You can want but you have accepted the rules here, you can't demand anything. It's up to sitemanagers to either keep (preferred) or delete your messages. Remember, deleting messages may render many threads very hard to understand plus something useful for someone by you will be deleted aswell.
