    It'll only be closed not deleted. The unchristian creators of this forum are bastards like that. ;)

    Tut, you are supposed to be horrified and ask why he wants to close his account, so he can tell you....

    They wont delete an account. It would remove all your posts and threads and that would bugger everything around it - other peoples posts, replies and comments


    Thats what the expermient in Switzerland was about in the Large Hadron Collider.

    They used to be able to do something to delete accounts, and instead of the user's name it would just say unregistered. Ya, and why do you want it deleted I'm nosey.

    I really think the need to change that to goodbye'@'boards.ie for account closures. More fitting.

    OP, might be easier to to scramble your password and move on. Nothing is gone for ever on the internet.
    As Snyper said, deleting posts would ruin the flow of a thread.
    Or if there are a few certain posts you'd like deleted that contain personal information, a mod or admin might do it if you drop a PM linking to them.

    I think we're done here. OP, as Spear said, send a request by email to hello@boards.ie and the lads will sort you out.

    Locked.
