he asked how do i close my account, not if it was possible. either way, if its been closed, he was saved the job. would you rejoin a site you wanted out of to ask this question?

I didn't remove your account myself, but I'm assuming the person who did thought they were doing you a favour after reading your post.

Why did you ask then out of interest?

OK Hippy why would you want to know if you can delete your account?

To answer your question members can't only certain mods can, and only PH admin can resurrect them.

wanted to change my nickname , simple as that. didn't expect to be treated like a villain after so many years of membership.
sorry if i'm not up to speed with the details of how forums work.

i guess i got it wrong or someone made an assumption , either way this is my last post. delete this account as well , i won't be back or waste my time on here any more.

Don't throw your toys out of your pram, if you read back through that thread (link above/below) you'll see Mr Will thought he was assisting you in helping with your request.

No one said any thing bad to you, it was just a false assumption, have you even read that thread fully.

Relax smile It seems that a mod can get your account back so no harm done. You have to admit though that your previous topic was pretty unequivocal - "how do I delete my account?". For reference, when you get your account back, go into My Profile and just alter the name in the box smile

I must admit when I read your thread I thought it odd because you'd been posting as per normal and didn't seem to have had any rows with anybody or not used your account...

If Hippy / Andy doesn't get his account back, can I have his unspent years transferred to my account? smile

I can see your point here, but when someone asks for an account deletion they mean just that. Will thought he was doing you a favour, not treating you like a villain. if it's a switch of a username you wanted it wasn't clear, just a case of crossed wires as i see it.

You can have the account back, that's possible with a bit of work, just let me know via email if you want a resurrection or a deletion? I'll get it sorted this morning smile
