How to delete account

This is one of the very few forums I read every day. Certainly one of the best, and it is one of the best because of all the knowledgable members.

abintx: How does one delete their BR Central account? Is it possible to do it without Webmaster intervention, and in a neutral/goodwill environment?

No - I have to do it.

Suggestion: Why not set up a little box somewhere, that a person checks, and then hits enter?

Then you don't have to personally intervene, and everyone continues about their day with a warm fuzzy feeling.
 
OK.... for all the readers out there that want to try the sport of Bench Rest out, here's proof that YES there are that sort of people in this sport too ;) although fewer of them than in certain other sports IME.

Don't even get me started on the subject of dogs at matches.....

I'm surely missing something (that would be a first ;-), BR.com is the mildest of sites, civil and usually well behaved. I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would get jerky enough about this site to pull the account. One reason it is so civil, especially compared to one forum that I inhabit on occasion, is that probably 70%-80% of the forum knows, either directly or within one degree, most everyone else. That keeps the eggregious behavior that I witness elsewhere under wraps. That plus most competitive shooters don't tend to be hotheads. Some though, heh!

IF this is a problem for people because they just don't have the willpower to stay off the site, and need someone else to remove their ability to post, then I suggest this.

This of course for those folks who want removed, but can't get Superuser/Moderator assistance:

Open a text editor window so you can type some gobbledygook. Type a dozen or so garbage characters. Highlight and copy them. (CTRL-C is Copy if you were not aware)

Go to the user control panel where you change your password. Enter the old password, and PASTE (CTRL-V) the gobbledygook you just typed into both boxes. Save the changes.

Close the editor window without saving the contents.

Log out.

There you go. You are never getting back on BRC again! (More than one way to skin a cat!). Have a nice day!
 
Some how I suspect they think by having their account deleted they think it will delete all of their old posts. That might be true but I can still find posts for some of those users who passed away some years ago.
 
Please dont delete me !!!!

I like it here !! This is a great site !!. I cannot (for the life of me) understand someone being angry with Wilber and calling him those names. I realize that he dont need no defence but I want to share this quote that he shared with me many moons ago at St Louis;
"The true measure of a man is how that he treats someone who can not possibly do him any good"

That may not be exact but the meaning is clear. He is a true southern gentleman who is liked by many. I never seen him be-little anyone but I have seen him (If asked) go out of his way to help many. This is a great site

Geez, I thought that I was cranky and hard to get along with. As several others have said this is about the most easy going site I've ever been on and the only one I visit regularly. I'm not sure what the problem the OP has/had with Wilbur, but I know a few (well more than a few actually) people who would read (or type) him the riot act, then go hunt him down. Wilbur is as usual polite about the whole matter.

I've got to say that unless someone is totally stupid or obnoxious they're generally treated pretty well here. Very rarely is someone's total ignorance pointed out, well mine hasn't been too often anyway, and if it is it's in a friendlier manner than I've seen done in person from time to time.

I don't need/want deleted either.
 
Maybe some want delete so their details aren't visible on the net, but heck, by then it's too late.

It doesn't take much looking through posts to see that paranoia is alive & well.
 
When the off-cut you're running through the bench router to set the fence has a secret knot & disintegrates, busting the pusher, you stick your "bird" finger into the blade & sort of @#$%!! it good. Exit one nerve, maybe the tendon & surgery again in 3 to 6 months on the nail bed.

Call me an interested observer for most of this year - an involuntary lefty.

John;

One doesn't have to worry about the nail bed....if you take it off by inserting finger into a jointer. Could have been worse though. It's only 3/8ths shorter than it was.....
It went so quick it barely hurt.
 
I didn't need to read that. After 2 days working in the wood shop, and scheduled to work some more today, I'm now all goosey.
On a woodworking forum, someone showed pics of an injury. Then came the flood of other photos. It was a long time before I went back in the shop. LOL
 
Wholly off-topic and mods should feel free to delete; you won't hear a peep of complaint from me.

Texas State IHMSA championships, ~1980, at a now-defunct east Texas range, was the only time I've ever yelled "Cease fire" at the top of my lungs in the middle of a firing period. I was standing behind the line and saw it coming - the range owner's dog ran at top speed, straight downrange.

Much to his credit, even though he had no idea why some kid was yelling for a cease fire, the line officer instantly repeated my command then looked at me for an explanation. Then he saw the dog and no explanation was necessary.

Much to their credit, there were 20+ shooters on the line and I didn't hear a single shot after I sang out.

The fun part of the day was watching the owner of the range zig-zagging all over the place, running after his dog. It looked like something out of Benny Hill. I think the dog was finally captured somewhere near the turkey line, 150 meters away.

Barring special circumstances, I don't think dogs should be at matches, either. :)

That's too funny there Lynn! :D
 
Like Groucho said, "I wouldn't join any club that would have me as a member"

I was wondering what John's avatar was too. I try to avoid power woodworking equipment for that reason, and because my woodworking ability mostly involves turning perfectly good pieces of wood into kindling. No wood stove anymore either. Good luck with healing up John!
