How do I quit?

Hi there,

the first thing I look up after registrating somewhere, if there's a possibility to close the account again. I really hate it, if there isn't. So the most important question missing in the FAQ is:

How do I quit my account?

thx for help

How do I quit?

Firstly, welcome to h2g2... and I hope you enjoy yourself and never actually want to quit smiley - winkeye

Secondly, there isn't actually a 'quit' button on h2g2... it doesn't cost you anything to post here, you don't get spammed because it belongs to the BBC, and you only visit when you want to, so there's not much point in having a quit button...

Plus, if your postings were to be deleted at any time it would make any conversations you were involved in look pretty strange (for example, I'd be answering a non-existant question smiley - yikes)...

Having said that, the usual method of leaving the site is to clear any information from your personal space (which I notice you haven't filled in yet... If you do - you'll get a visit from a nice volunteer called an ACE who-ll show you around the place). Then, unsubscribe from any conversation you have taken part in (if you look at your personal space you'll find you are subscribed to this conversation). Then just don't post any more... the only trace of you would be the postings you'd made in the meantime.

Having said all that... very few people manage to escape this site anyway... it's very, very addictive smiley - winkeye

I'd just like to state that not all of the researchers using this site are quiet as nuts as the unrepresentative sample who have posted here smiley - nahnah

Some of us are quite normal!
