Removing accounts/posts and downloading your data archive by Menthix on 11-11-2013 at 04:41 PM

Removing your account or posts
It is possible to close your account or have posts removed. Don't forget you can change/delete a lot of information yourself. Use the password recovery form if you can't remember your password. Your username and password are the same as on the old Messenger Plus! forums (msghelp.net).

  • You can also just change your username if you don't want people to link your posts to you.
  • Due to the nature of forums your posts are generally public and quoted by other users. It is not possible for us to remove these quotes in an automated fashion. By default, posts from a disabled account are not removed. We do however remove your profile information, username, email address, password, IP address, PMs, favourites, subscriptions, ratings, and anything else linked to your account. Your old posts will appear to be posted by a generic username. For example: user95912 and his or her posts.
  • If you insist your posts are be deleted, please let us know. This still won't take care of your posts being quoted by others.
  • Removing information posted by others is only possible if it contains your personal information or if the post is against the rules.
To change your username, have your account disabled, or remove content: PM Menthix or email.

How did my information end up here anyway?
See what happened to the Messenger Plus! forums on msghelp.net? for a bit of history.
