    I just don’t need any of this anymore. I just want the whole account deleted.

    What did you need an account for anyways? Arcade?

     

    Why do you want it deleted as apposed to just not using it?

    Not to be out of line here, but I why should it matter why he wants to delete his account? I mean, it seems like everybody has a right to no longer associate with a group if they so choose.

    If theirs a legit reason why he wants his account deleted b/c of something like a forum bot spamming out mass emails or something like that we should know about it so we can fix it.

     

    Its a hassle

    Its not friendly on the database, i mean its not that big of a deal he only has 2 post and 5 high scoors in the arcade

    Its does not help the forum statistics

     

    I’m really just curious, never seen anyone on any forum that wanned to have their history erased?

    Hmmm, I didn’t think of those Nodice; those are legitimate reasons I suppose. I know I have wanted to delete my account from a forum before, although there was a bit of a falling out with the administrators so I wasn’t comfortable with them having any of my personal information – I doubt that is a problem with this site. Other than that though, I can’t think think of a reason they would want it deleted.

    We should never delete accounts IMO. The db isn’t going to like a hole and there are other ways to get around account restriction if that is what this is about (IE multiple email registering, etc).

    I guess it’s nice of him though, kind of like when you quit your job, you kind of say in advance, “hey im leaving”.

     

     

    Sorry to see you go, whoever you are.

    The only thing about this site is that no matter what I do, there is always some kind of restriction in why I can’t play a game. If there was a way to fix this then I wouldn’t have a reason to leave.

    do you mean playing in the arcade? all you have to do is log in i thought… if you notice an actual restriction in the games that prevent you from playing by all means tell us so we can fix it!

    The database won’t care, I assure you:/ Over the past 9 years of using IPB, I’ve come across every possible scenario, including the person who joined for the arcade, and wanted his account deleted.

     

    Posts are kept (unless specified otherwise during delete), and the stats stay the same. Doesn’t lose a member. Deleting does nothing except remove his name from the active users list, and into what I like to call “the phantom category”, which is basically the guests group that you can’t edit:P

     

    That being said, why delete him? No real reason to….I mean, meh. It’s just a pain in the *edited*.

    Unfortunatley that’s not how it works. I do have a system on my forums though, that deletes users automatically, if they have under 5 posts, and haven’t logged in for over 90 days:)

    Which is why new members are numbered 100,000+ right?
