Delete account
Your other post has been replied to, so your account can't be deleted.
Once an account has posts made against it - IT CANNOT BE REMOVED, this is to ensure the forum isn't left with gaps in threads, making them nonsensical.

Just stop logging in, simple.

This was one of the conditions you agreed to when you joined the forum. As mentioned above, "Just stop logging in".

Go into user settings.
Opt out of mailings. Emails. Etc
There.. you are GONE.

It just seems bonkers to me. I don't own a Fiat. I started one thread about 9 years ago. And so that the integrity of that ancient and irrelevant thread is maintained, I have stay a member forever more and have no say in the matter.
In my mind the more friendly version of the conversation goes like this:
"Hello - how can I delete my account on this site please?"
"No worries, I'll take care of it - all the best"
"Cheers!"
Weird.

Why are you that bothered about having an account on a forum you don't use?
I must have loads of account on websites I've not accessed for years
We get about 1-2 threads like this a year since I've been a member. They all end the same way...
As far as a relevance goes - you had a problem at some point I'm assuming. Someone else will probably have that problem at some point. They'll search Google. Your thread will appear, which has already been answered. They can fix the issue without having to start a whole new thread. Alternatively, they follow the thread but can't fix the issue. They can post on that thread meaning that the people trying to help can see what's already been suggested and go from there.
Basically, it's not all about you.

Doesn't matter why really, I decided to finally bother to stop the 'Happy Birthday from Fiat' emails I get once a year, thought I'd go in and cancel my account, but it honestly seems strange to be told that I'm not allowed. It's the principle of that as much as anything.
As a matter of interest, if I just started spamming and swearing all over the forum, would I be allowed to have my account cancelled then?
I'm not the kind of arsehole to do that, just curious.

You'd be banned and the offending posts deleted, but your account would remain.
We can politely point you to the rules you agreed to when you signed up, you chose to start arguing about them.
We can anonymise the account if you want - basically I'll remove all your info from your profile, delete the email address associated with it etc etc.
Posts and threads would still remain though.
In them 9 years you still haven't bothered to thank the people who tried to help you on that thread, and you have the cheek to call the forum unfriendly :tosser:
