Just go and edit all your posts to ( . ) dump your cookies and Internet cache and don't come back here ever again.
If you need to go further than that, add www.literatica.com to the sites you won't allow your computer to access.
If you need to go further than that, unplug the network lead from the back of the computer, or unplug the power lead, turn off the computer and walk away from it. In a couple of weeks when you feel a little stronger, you can give away the computer to a nephew or a niece.
If you are still getting urges you might undergo a series of hypnotherapy sessions, or ECT aversion therapy to help you control yourself. Good luck and enjoy your life!

Isn't your account deleted automatically after a certain amount of inactivity?

Not to mention disrupting the story database because the author's ID is the same as the froum user ID, but the associations between ID and posts don't get automatically updated when the forums are purged -- so Literotica doesn't purge the forum user database, ever.

Here is a reason why you may want to delete an account
I was hosting a site a while back, and was at the time playing with animation. I took 2 or 3 of the animations, and placed them on a business host site in an obscure folder without links & or an index, so nobody could find them without exactly knowing they were there. This has been over 2 years ago. Anyways, I have deleted the posts manually, and the animations since then, and created redirects on our site for where the gif's used to be. However, daily, our site recieves 100-250 hits from where those animations used to be using up bandwidth etc. I intially thought at the time, what harm could this do, but now after 2 years we still get hits from literotica, infact someday more hits than the whole rest of the site. I have emailed the contact us link with a nice explaination, and can you help me story. I have tried a bunch of other things without success, and to no avail. I then considered deleting my screen name, and emailed the hosts about this for no response either.
I wonder how many people know that whatever they post here, will be here forever, or as long as the site exists. Nonetheless, I can't concern myself with stupid things like this, it is just disappointing that one cannot do anything about it, without threats or payoffs....lol....the last part was a joke.
Anyways my 2 cents

strictly speaking, this isn't true. it would delete threads they started, but it would merely nuke the user's posts in other threads.ezzy said:

Update
I did, eventually, get a response from Laurel. She said, basically, that they do not have the administrative capability to delete Forum Accounts or posts. I know that moderators can, in fact, move or delete posts they feel are off-topic or inappropriate, however.
She said that accounts on the 'story' side of lit can be deleted, however.
I hope that helps.

Oh look I just quoted what you said, strictly speaking this is now a duplicate of your post.
If you go and remove your post, this post quoting your post that is no longer there, will make even less sense that it does now.

i frequent another forum that uses the exact same software where that kind of thing happened. it's a bit weird, but no biggie. btw: passive/aggressive is so 80s.

It takes one to know one! But passive/aggressive has been around longer than that surely?
Would you not say Ghandi was passive/aggressive? His passivity was strong enough to break the hold of the British in India, and he died in 1948, so did that make it so 40's?

ezzy, if people resort to such silliness, that's their prerogative. you're discussing forum posts as some kind of indelible record when that simply isn't true. it's actually no different from a user going back to edit his/her own post after someone's already replied. nothing is fixed, nothing is permanent.
i mean, hey, you're entitled to your opinion, but if you're going to justify your opinion logically, i don't think it's too much to ask that you do a good job of it.
reminder: passive/aggressive = 80s. :>

Uh oh! Now we have a quote of a quote that was edited to make it look like it was just a quote.
This is getting confusing to general readers who don't give a monkeys about what is being said, even when being said by members like Weird Harold, who does have connections to the internal works of the site and gives the straight poop as he knows it.
So being as pedantic as you are, you can surely go back and point out that there are sites that allow their users to make their forums a more confusing place, and that there are other sites that try to minimize the post totals jumping up and down minute by minute as members choose to nuke threads and posts.
After all you can set the authorities on a BB so that any member can delete threads, why you would think that would make your BB more sucessful I have no idea, but strictly speaking it can be done, I for one would probably choose not to stay on a BB where that happened all the time, how about you?

your inability to read undercuts what you appear to think is a brilliant point. it isn't, sorry. at no point did i say the other forum to which i referred was "more successful". that comparison exists only in your head, ezzy. why you perceive a comparison, much less one in which lit suffers by comparison, is a question only you can answer. that wasn't ever said by me: not even hinted at. beyond that, who the hell is talking about empowering all users to nuke threads? it certainly wasn't me. go ahead: post a link to the post that you think says it.ezzy said:
ezzy, really: please stop listening to the little voices. you'll be happier that way, promise. :>

i like how you edited your post to add this little bit:ezzy said:

no, b/c what you've described is called passive resistance, which really originates in the century previous thanks to thomas paine. by contrast, passive/aggressiveness is another thing entirely, ezzy. i know the expressions are similar, but they do mean very different things. :>
