Nah, we would have too many people 'unregister' in a huff about something, then rejoin. Would be more hassle than its worth.

It would become the new 'leaving'

Closed - the question the OP asked was answered.

LOL at the thought of you waking up this morning:

'OMG It's Easter, Let's Spring Clean! I just realized I'm still a member of that Big Brother forum I joined back in 2004, I must unregiester. '


And I agree with Vicky.

Yeah I don't understand this. If you don't want to be on the site then just don't come on. Why the need to be unregistered anyway, it's not like it effects you being registered to here?

surely the point is that as long as someone remains an official member, but does not post - it pushes up the membership figure for said forum - making it appear far more popular than it is.

Besideswhich: the guy/girl asked a question: they initially got a reply from Iceman which explained it: but until they came back onto the thread, (and even after they did, and explained why they were asking), the rest of the replies seem to be doing not a lot other than making fun/making out the person is stupid or odd for asking nothing more than a reasonable question - there are many sites which allow you to delete your account or deregister entirely. I don't think what they asked merits all the wise cracks to a very civil question.

I've been on one and I can assure you, they are out there. Because you haven't seen one, doesn't mean they don't exist.

Like I said, the guy asked a civil question: yet mocking him doing so seems be getting encouraged - I find that odd - it's not the best way to treat a member, high post record or not.

Tbh I do agree with Pyramid; most sites I know allow you to unregister/delete your account/etc. it wasnt that unreasonable a question. Although I can see why people maybe took the mick a bit, because the guy felt the need to suddenly have his account deleted when he hadnt even been online for 7 years, people just found it a bit strange that's all

Thanks MTVN for confirming that - it could have been the reason the member asked. Moreso, it may not be the way Tibbs operates, but given the person registered years ago: things may have changed since then and it may have been a requirement now - seeing as they haven't posted much over the years - it was a very reasonable question. I understand the rest of what you say: I found it unpleasant that it was being encouraged.

If Tibbs operate that way, so be it: I'm sure there is a more pleasant and people friendly way of putting that message across - but hey, Tibb for you!! lol
