    Lets say, hypothetically, that I wanted to leave and have all traces of myself being at this forum completely eliminated (or at least to the general public). Now, hypothetically speaking, of course, is there a way for this to be done? I mean, I know you can ban members, and I'm not sure if that deletes their posts or not.

    Second question, if this can be done, is there an admin willing to do this for me for my account? C:

    (Oh, and the reason I post this here, for GL to ever message me back is like a snowball's chance in hell.)

      ):

      I guess you could just go back and edit out anything sensitive?

          Icy, I thought I responded back a few days ago to your PM, but it must not have gone through. I've resent resent my message so please check that.

          And yes, there is a way to delete a member's posts and topics. I have only done it to spambots for obvious reasons, and Max has done it to purge the forum of inactive accounts from time to time. It wipes the forum clean of that member, and obviously that would include entire topics and archived posts/topics. The effect is compounded with a member having so many posts.

          We'll discuss this further Icy. In short, yes it is possible, but strongly inadvisable.
