1. GBCW?

[GriffenRamsey]

10. What?

[The Magistrate]

2. Just Stop Showing Up, Fella

Easy to do....

[GriffenRamsey]

6. That doesn't remove the account.

You shouldn't leave unused accounts active. It is a security risk. I don't know how many times I've had my email and account info seized by some hack of a website or another. If you aren't using a service any more, delete the account.

You can enter your email address here to see if your information has been stolen. If you are telling people to "just stop showing up" I suggest you check your email address IMMEDIATELY. That is dangerous.

Orphaned accounts leave behind personal and identifying information that can be aggregated into larger repositories after they are hacked. Ever use the same security question on two sites? The same password? How about a credit card, etc.? Best to check, change your passwords, and have random / fake security questions.

25. Manufacture Any Difficulty You Like, Sir

Spin it out as long as you can, but remember object permanence --- you will continue to exist even when no one is paying the least attention to you.

27. So if you knew all this, why'd you join to begin with?

Oops, I see he’s gone now lol.

3. 1. Change your password to a series of characters you'll never remember and don't write down

2. Log off.

3. Mission accomplished.

[GriffenRamsey]

7. No seriously, that's not safe.

[Squinch]

4. Lol!

[GriffenRamsey]

9. Just tell me where the button is please.

[Arkansas Granny]

5. Go to your profile, change your password to some random keystrokes that you'll never remember and

then log out. Easy peasy. TTFN

[GriffenRamsey]

8. No, that's not safe.

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. Post something on DU praising Donald Trump.

The rest will be taken care of for you.

[GriffenRamsey]

20. Seriously, will that do it?

[GriffenRamsey]

12. Why are you guys so unhelpful?

It's a simple request.

[Yonnie3]

14. There is no way to delete an account.

Please don't cast asparagus on your fellow DUers.

[GriffenRamsey]

19. Look at the replies...

I had to go to Bing and craft a search to find it. When I came here and asked a SIMPLE question, I just got mocked.

Anyone of the could simply have said what you said.

Instead it was just snark. Nobody has been like that in the other forums on here. What am I missing?

33. It's just that there have been some historic flameouts that ended this way. But as others have

Said, go to ask the admins.

You can also go to ‘my posts’ and delete your individual posts, tedious but doable.

Then change your password to wheklrhjaiwpuq[goivwj[03qop inrp39rob i 2ugjrnvior2g3jrkwm Or other random keystrokes you will never remember and hit enter.

Or you could just forget about DU.

Best luck, cheers

[Yonnie3]

34. They are no longer an account holder

Admin must have helped them out (the door).

[mahina]

35. Awesome. Funny though, yeah?

Walking into an in-group joke unaware. Poor thing.

Adios, ke aloha.

[niyad]

17. On the left side, under main, you will see "ask admin". Go there.

One does wonder at your written feeling of desperation. You have been here a month, mostly in one of the most fun groups, and, instead of just not coming back in, you want to make it official. Sounds a bit extreme, but, your choice.

[GriffenRamsey]

13. When I search for delete and DU, all I find are deleted posts.

Lots of deleted posts but no instructions.

[msongs]

16. post your ? in the ask administrators forum/group. nt

[jpak]

15. Dare Skinner to do it

[hlthe2b]

21. Been known to work...

There is but one "master" at it, though

[Budi]

22. Ha!. Ok Then. poof

[JudyM]

24. That's too funny.

Skinner beat the clock. Gotta love it.

[The Magistrate]

26. That Was A Great Moment, Ma'am

A true high spot in the history of the place.

[ret5hd]

18. The children always suffer the most in these situations.

Please remember to pick me up every other weekend.

[Wawannabe]

29. Hahahahahahahahaaaaa!

This was fucking hilarious!

OMG! Thanks!

[Budi]

23. Don't go. Take a break & think it over. "STAY" Here's a classic

We're all in this together ~

[SleeplessinSoCal]

28. there are valid reasons to delete account.

The one I can think of is employment. A job application for a conservative employer - like the FBI - in this era could lose you the job if discovered. Not sure if deleting account would delete all reference though

[Fla Dem]

30. Be an a-hole in a post and the admins will do it for you.

Or you could message the admins and ask them to remove your account.

[Tipperary]

31. I think that has got to be the only way to go out.

I have seen it happen a few times. I just never know if they meant to do it or not.

[BluesRunTheGame]

36. "Tombstone me now, Skinner!"

It worked for Walt Star. Maybe it’ll work for you.
