Do a search on your posts and delete them as a group. Then remove any information from your profile.

why can't there just be a "cancel membership" just like any other website you make an account with?

14. In regards to deleting accounts or posts - please do not contact us asking for your posts or account to be deleted. We have set the forum permissions so that anyone who posts has the ability to delete their own posts, any threads they started, and any profile information they entered. We do not delete accounts.

How to Delete Your Posts - This can be done by clicking the "Edit" button at the bottom of the post, then clicking the delete button at the bottom right of the editor window that opens. To list all of your posts, do an advanced search for "posts by this user" and enter your username. There is an option at the bottom left that says "Show Results as;" select "Posts." When you get the list or results, follow the same procedure for deleting the posts. We do not delete users or cancel accounts, however we do give you the ability to delete any information you put on the site. We are not responsible for your posts or removing them. If a post is in a locked thread, you can pm me or a moderator with a request to delete it (please include a link to the post).

You can also delete any profile information you entered, by going through the "User CP" links (should show up at the top left while logged in). The same links you used to enter your profile information can be used to delete it.

It's not built into the software the forums run on, and my personal experience has been that none of the social media platforms really make that easy to do anyway.

There actually is a way for me to delete a user, but it would leave all of your posts up with a generic username, which is not what people usually want when they say "please close my account."

So I would rather teach people how to delete all of the info they posted online, rather than put them in a position where their account is closed, and they have lost access to information they posted on the site.
