    Hi Clutch or other mods,

    I was wondering if this account could be deleted? I'm doing major clean up in my life, starting with my internet past (all forums and all the junk in my email, a whopping 14000 emails in it I have to clean up) and then personal life. I really want to forget the way I posted before, I think I started on here 10 years ago and have a new username. I am finally willing to be a contributing member, but before I do this is something I want to do first. If not, are there any alternatives? I just want none of Outlier (or whoever I was before this username, I forget) to be traced back to me.

    Thank you.

    Hmmm, erasing your web trail for the last ten years is going to be hard.

    Goodluck!

    Are you worried about having posted your job history? You could just ask to delete that thread. You wouldn't need to delete your posts if you weren't concerned about if affecting you in the future.

    Are you trying to be less of an "Outlier"? You could just create a new name.

    All info be longed to us. :p

    I actually thought about this as well when I started Clutch Community. I didn't want all of my past out there for the world to see, but then I knew charities would most likely do a back ground check on me anyway.

    I have nothing to hide from anyone.

    I just saved all your posts and threads to The Archive -- you've posted some crazy stuff over the past decade.

    The Archive? Lol are you serious?

    Yes, I believe I was McGrady.

    I just want to start on a completely clean slate.

    I'm running vbulletin 4.2 on my forums. I'll check admin options, but if i recall correctly, the posts would have to be phyically removed. Your username can be deleted, but the posts will remain. again, not sure, but let me look at what is possible.

    ok...On vbulletin 4.2, if a user is deleted on the admin control panel, the posts remain, but user name is changed to "Guest" for all posts. I don't know if that will work.

    LOLs @ info for v4 when we use v3.8 :p jajajaja...
    What are you afraid of, partner? DON'T BE SCARED.

    OWN your past. :eek: Learn from it. Do BETTER in your future.

    Nobody knows you by name (at least I hope that's not the case), so just don't worry about it.

    Next thing you're going to want to remove something from your nickname because you're "reborn"... *cough*420*cough*

    Anytime. Hope it helps. If I'm not mistaken, when I was running 3.8, the admin options were the same.

    I always confuse outlier with outlaw. Outlaw has a more distinct history

    Jesus, you're like a jilted ex girlfriend who needs to broadcast the butthurt to everyone who's moved on.

    I don't know who's worse at being led by the nose with his troll-bait, you or roc paint.

    Stop re-posting his garbage, and either ignore him completely or be ignored.

    Almost no point. I'm pretty sure you can be backtraced.

    Don't drag my name through the mud ass wipe. I've stayed away from there back and forth bickering.
