    The EU has passed a law called GDPR which is forcing me to allow account deletions (click here for a very detailed explanation of the law). The law goes into effect in a bit over a month. The software that runs this site makes it cumbersome to do account deletions, which is one of several reasons why I haven't been willing to do them in the past. But I've found an add-on utility that makes the process somewhat easier.

    To delete your account do the following:

    1. Login
    2. Click on your user name in the upper left corner under the logo, then choose "Account Settings" from the drop down.
    3. Choose "Delete My Account" in the sidebar on the left side of the page.
    4. Fill out the form for why you want to delete your account and click "Save".
    5. Wait a few days for a moderator to do the deletion.

    But before you delete your account realize what it does and what it doesn't do…

    • Deleting your account will get rid of your profile page.
    • Deleting your account deletes the data we have on you (email address, IP addresses, etc.)
    • Deleting your account will stop all emails from Breeding Zone (though you can do that already in Account Settings).
    • Deleting your account does NOT delete your forum posts.
    • Deleting your account does NOT delete images you post to the gallery section or images you post in threads. If we notice that you have gallery images we'll delete them, but don't count on it.
    • Deleting your account probably will NOT delete your blog posts (I'm waiting for a test case).
    • Deleting your account does NOT get rid of references to your profile name. In fact quite the opposite – it makes those references so difficult to remove that we will ignore any request to remove them. Changing your profile name is the best way to get rid of references to your profile name.
    • After you delete your account there's basically no way for you to prove authorship of anything that's left on the site. Hence we will ignore any requests to delete or modify posts unless they contain identifiable information, and in that case we will only edit out the identifiable information.

    I'll update this with more details once I do a few deletions and understand the process more completely.

    Love being here. im not going anywhere.
