h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I need an old account deleted, does anyone have any idea how I can get this to happen? I don't remember the email I used for it. It’s urgent.

If you can remember any details at all about the old account, I would suggest you contact:

h2g2 Editorial AT bbc (dot) co (dot) uk


Otherwise, just ignore the account. If you can't answer the message from the new site, the account will just stay encrypted and unopened.

I hope this helps you

Access and details of the account itself may be encrypted, but I don't expect that the PS nor message centre, etc will be. They will probably all be just as visible as they would be today.

Which may be the initial concern?

Oookay...

Then the Editors would be the best bet.


However, if it is a specific posting/s you can still yikes using the House Rules, or, 'on the grounds of it offends me/or may offend another, and would be best deleted'. Anyone can yikes, so your email address won't matter, just follow the prompts in the acknowledging email to confirm you are making a complaint. Send an email of support to the Editors.

There's potentially two different questions - do you want prevent passing your details on to the new owners (but leave your Entries etc. intact), or do you want to wipe out the existence of the account?

For both answers, email the Eds.

Thanks all, and hello Anna!

Yes, please do drop us a line explaining which account it is and whether you want the content and/or the account to be deleted and we'll have a look at it.

I need it wiped...

Cheers, I've emailed them!

Anyone else getting deja vu of:

"i want 2 cancel this account what 2 do" ??



Nighthoover's back!

Do such wholey ones have siblings? Or is it perhaps his 'feminine side'?

(Apologies to the originator, of course, for silliness and intrusion)

Silliness and intrusion ALWAYS appreciated! No response from the Eds yet.

You should hear something on Monday, or Tuesday

I’ve googled for the account I want removed, sent the info to the Eds and I trust they will do all they can. thank you all for your help. They asked for all the info I could get!

Googled?... Well, as long as it helps


lil x

LOL aye!

Did you get it sorted with the Eds?


lil x

Aye, they'll pass all the info on to the tech guys for total removal. Happy days.

That's wonderful
