    Can someone let me know how I can delete my account...??

    I don't understand why you can't simply delete your account...it seems to one flaw among many on this site...

    Just pick out random letter and numbers, change your password to that, logout, and forget you've a username.

    And what would happen to all your posts, to say nothing of the flow of conversation of any threads you participated in?

    I'd like to delete an account also. The first one I created was corrupt -- when I log in, I can't post or anything. Such a waste of resources! I had initially though I needed to pay to use the site :o.

    You do, and your account is well overdue. The boys will be around in the morning. :D

    Changing your password is the best way really. If you want I can siteban you, same thing either way I guess.

    The reason we don't let you delete your account is due to reasons that aidan walsh has mentioned. I don't remember seeing any other VBulletin or PHPbb forum allow users to delete their account though, so it's not secluded to boards.ie.

    use an old account to act the tit. When an smod says you started it to by pass a ban. Job done.

    Issues.

    Just leave and never enter the URL again. That's it, did you need to create a thread about it?
