Bitcointalk is not like Facebook and Twitter where there is an option to deactivate your account or deleting your account, all you need to do if you wish to say goodbye to the forum is to never log in again simple and if you are concern about personal data, just know that any thing you ever posted on the internet can never be erase totally.

There are lies, damned lies and statistics. MTwain
Is there anyone in Bitcointalk forum who tell me that how to delete bitcointal forum account?<…>
I assume you want to delete all posts and the account itself. You cannot delete your account.
At best, you can try to delete all posts that are deletable (not all are – depending on where they were published), or nullify (erase) their content.

Since your account is still a Newbie with low activity, I guess you could do something like plagiarize and then report the plagiarized post, which may get it Nuked. A Nuked account gets its posts deleted. I'm trying to find the exact activity limit for a Nuked Newbie.

Never, never use real information about yourself on free web sites.  On pay sites you generally have to.

Deleting accounts doesn't mess up any threads, like this thread. It just changes to anonymous, with no profile information. Post stays intact.

As you can see here, I only change the username to "Anonymous" on request.
You should have renamed it Anonymatlas

Sounds creepy  Cheesy

Also re: vpn, you can use Tor as well. I don't know how many forums block proxies though, I don't typically use them.

Well, your IP is not your private information. It MUST be known if you want to roam around the interwebz. That's how they designed the internet.

You didn't get my point. It is not about my future use or "not-use" of the internet. It is about information privacy in terms of logging and deleting logged data when requested to. Surely, the forum would not collapse by deleting the data that can connect my account to me as a person, and I think you did not want to suggest this.

I am perfectly OK with logging and being able to be connected to my IP address as long as I use the internet. But I start thinking when I used the internet at some point in the past in a legal way and the account that is no longer used by me and therefore the data connecting the account to me, is possible to be compromised, thus possibly connecting me to a crime I did not do.
But you convinced me not to be so paranoid, I think you are right, the police/prosecutor would indeed need to prove that I am the culprit and that the account was not hacked as soon as I say "but my account was hacked".

I've signed up for literally hundreds of web sites and message boards and forgotten about maybe 90% of them.

Never, never use real information about yourself on free web sites.  On pay sites you generally have to.

This is a good suggestion, thank you. I will think about using VPN or other anonymizing services to hide my IP address.

After the last two answers, at last, I will change my password and stop answering and spamming the forum with my personal paranoia. Smiley
