During my time as a moderator I got in between 2 registered members and tried to reason with both. For the record I am not talking about Dean and Peter. Anyway, I got some promises from the worse of the two and he reneged. I made life tough for him at that point by presenting a case to the admin.

The poster's account was completely deleted and he had the balls to come back as a 'guest' under the same name. I think he regained membership status not long after. It was time for me to quit that job. And good thing too because there are 50 people here that would be joining Dean and Peter if I had anything to do with it.

I think you can contact a moderator. If they can't help, they can find someone who can.
Assisted Deletion..I think you can go to jail for that...

to the OP" the way to "leave" is to go away...........

In a few months no one will even remember who you are and all your posts will be several pages buried in the archives of this site.......

life goes on, and trust me, no one gives a crap about you.

I think the traditional method is to throw a big fit. Make a “you won’t have me to kick around anymore” post. Leave for a while or forever.

I have seen this a few times.


Don’t leave, John.

Or leave, and come back as JetFokkenBlack guy.

I dunno. Maybe you could get sent to the island and find you like it. Setup a hotel for the long stay type clients and frequent flyers.

There's some that just quit cold turkey after being very active on the forums. I'm sure they lurk, I was surprised to see Joeaksa chime in on the Wayne Krieger thread. Some like OWP, Lubemaster and WD just dropped out without a word, I'm sure they'll chime back in sometime.

This needs to be signed, notarized, sent certified mail/ signature receipt requested. Copies to be kept on file for 10 years. This simplified version does not address loss of deposit, early withdraw penalties, or physical and emotional harm resulting from forum use.

After a contract is terminated, the parties to the contract do not have any future obligations to each other. However, one or both parties might be liable for breach of the terms of the contract prior to termination. The terms of the contract might also determine what happens after the contract is terminated

As always, check with your liability insurance carrier to determine if your terms of coverage will guarantee you are in compliance. If not, you may be required to purchase an umbrella policy, depending on policy, and state requirements. Questions regarding liability resulting from participation in COVID threads are best addressed by consulting the individual's insurance carrier.



(Clearly, it's easier just to stay)

Joe is phenomenally good guy...haven't heard from him in years.

I talk with Lubes and OWP at least once a month. They have both been great to work with in the real world.

As a matter of fact, I have a meeting with Lube and OWP separately on Monday.

What would be the reason/motivation to delete an entire account?
That must have been a heck of a discussion you had…

It sure F’ed up a lot of threads.
Who was it?

I know three people who started new accounts and had the original deleted because of divorce proceedings.

At least one of them is now deceased...

So sorry to hear that. I assume you can’t share the name of our deceased friend publicly. Can you Blink once if it was OJB, twice if it was someone else?

Joe is alive and well - I see him on FB sometimes. And I agree - he is a great guy.

Deceased: "Ron Meier" changed his name to "Scrappy" - The whole scenario was sordid...unfortunately I know more details than I want...

OJU has not posted for quite a while. But he also changed names, because of a divorce.
