    I was looking through the Settings area, Profile, Forum Rules and tried searching but I cannot find how to completely delete my account. I know it is beneficial to a Forum to have lots of members (even inactive ones) so they don't normally make it easy but does anyone here know how I can have my avatar, my account, including personal information (profile), posts and photos removed from this Forum?

    I do not know but when you find out please let me know. I do not wish to continue with this form, either.

    Seems to be a setting that can be allowed/disallowed by the Admin.

    Why not just remove personal data and set the password to something random you can't remember, and you are virtually removed?
    Posts in threads I don't think can/should be deleted. A thread with missing posts could be hard to read.

    Maybe send a request to the moderator? I am moderator of another forum, and we do not give our members that opportunity either. But we will delete their posts and profile on their request.

    In your case you have made 384 posts. That mean, that if all your posts are deleted, then many threads will lose their logical sequence, because someone might have answered your posts. That’s why we do not allow our members to delete all their posts just by the click of a button.

    In most cases I think it should be fully sufficient to just stop posting, if you don`t want to be part of a particular forum anymore. But if you have a valid and serious reason for wanting something particular to be deleted, I am sure the moderator will do it for you, if you explain why.

    Sounds like something personal to me. I'm a member of countless forums. If you wish to not participate then simply turn off all notifications and never return. Pretty simple stuff.

    In most forums once you make a post it becomes the property of the forum. As for deleting your profile, you may have to contact the Dane if he does not respond here.

    your previous posts were very good, even if you don't have 3 cell phones next to your name :( you will be missed by most and I think your parting will leave a large hole.

    Good contributor in my opinion

    Steve, sorry you to see you decided to unhook from the forum today. I always thought you were a great contributor, using the forum for the good purpose of positive communication and helping others. I will miss you here. Let me know if I can do anything for you including the house rebuilding you posted today. Take Care.
