Unfortunately acid is right. The only sure fire way to get your account deleted is to post a bunch of spam.

Some forums have an a button in the preferences to delete your account.

Sometimes people know they will forget about a forum for a while and come back, and probably forgot there pasword and will create a new account. Iam supprised on how some forums have still kept my accounts for such a long time, I wonder if anyone maby liked the name and hacked it and uses it instead of me?

On some sites, I forgot my old password, and my old email address is abandoned too. There is no way for me to recover such an account.

is it legitimate and allowed and can be done to make another user account set uid and gid to null 0 to make another root account with different name and possibly not damage the debian system creating and using that new account BenJoBoy Linux - Newbie 12 01-29-2006 10:02 AM
