Well? Is there a convenient box to click, or do I have to start swearing at people?
Why do you have to delete it? Donāt you have enough self-discipline to just not post here anymore?
No, itās because I donāt want the site e-mailing me.
I disabled all emails to you (FWIW anyone can do this in Preferences/Emails.)
Thank you for that courtesy. However, I would still like to know how one deletes an account.
That option isnāt available. You can simply stop logging in. If you have an issue with any posts in particular, send me a private message.
I see this is a two year old thread, but is there a way to delete a Forumosa account? Itās been a fun experience and Iāve enjoyed the fiesty back and forth but need to focus on other things. any suggestions appreciated thanks

Relax, said the admin.
We are programmed to receive.
You can log-out anytime you want, but you can never leave.
Welcome to the website, Forumosa;
What a nice surprise, now you realize.
I know people who have been banned
Youāre still receiving emails after doing this?
You shameless name-dropper.
You shameless name-dropper.
Remind me again of their legal address? (It used to be posted somewhereāwas it in the UK?) This makes a difference to their legal obligations.
Are you unable to not post?
I was wondering whether thereās an addictive element to the flob. Like flashing lights with gambling machines.
There are a number of possible reasons one might wish to delete oneās account. Besides addiction / compulsion there are also privacy issues to consider, as well as long-term changes to the siteās political culture, so to speak, from which some may wish to dissociate themselves. More generally there is the basic question of who āownsā or controls oneās social media presence.
What was that legal address again?
All the more reason to use extreme caution when posting anything online. What goes online stays there forever. Times have changed a lot.
The right to be forgotten is an interesting discussion topic. My instinctive response is that freedom of speech trumps it, but itās certainly a murky issue. I donāt like the idea of people rewriting or erasing history.
Does anyone else want to have a good laugh when I say biggusā¦dickusā¦
I have no problem preserving any of these posts, just trying to minimize online distractions of all forms. This was a good exercise in attempting to understand the āother sideāsā point of view. I can now safely conclude with enough evidence after this attempt that yes, they really are like airport moonies after all. Hypothesis confirmed. But hey, I reached across the aisle!
All the best,
