Now and then forum users have requested their account deleted. I'm guessing because these users want to transition into a new phase in their lives and/or might feel disillusioned, and want to leave their past behind by setting it on fire - by burning their boats/bridges. One problem with such deletions is that information, including topic readability, might get lost. We may want to think about how we'll deal with such requests in the future. An alternative could be modifying the username to random characters, and adding a signature to the account such as "This user has left the forum."
On 11 August 2013, "
programmer" had their account deleted (probably per their request) with the help of mk1995, and on 20 January 2021,
prince777 had their account deleted (per their request) with my help.
Unfortunately, a new deletion request has recently arrived, from
4DPlayer.
What do you all think?
