The Smiley Smile Message Board

How do I unregister from the board?

Thanks

If you click on Profile, you'll be brought to a screen with "Delete This Account" as an option along the left side.

Why did you want to unregister?

This is all that I see along the left side.  Can't "find" he word delete.

I seem to have little to contribute and even less to contribute that seems of interest to others.  :)

For us that doesn't matter at all. Contributing can be anything: asking a question (or responding to it), or just giving your opinion. There are no rules for that, nor will you be disqualified in case you don't "contribute" (at all or that much).
But if you really want to unregister, we can help out (although I wouldn't feel good about it)

I don't mean to come off like an asshole here (ok, maybe a little bit), but why would it be a big deal if you have little to contribute and even less that would be of interest to others? Either you like the board or you don't. We have around 1600 members here, and of that I'd say about 80 or so are the heavy rollers so to speak. Half of the time people register here to ask for boots and leave when they get nowhere (but we certainly ridicule them along the way, y'know, because it's LOL-tastic). There are many great members here who don't chime in much but always can have something to offer. Everyone has something to offer - good ideas, great discussion, grief, and maybe even a reason for them to be locked away in a loony bin or in the circus.

Besides, and take this from someone who has the character flaw of little to no regard for anyone or their feelings - why do you even care if people are interested in what you have to say? I understand everyone wants to have conversations, but if you spend your time on here just waiting for the interest level on here to rise, you might be waiting a long time in general. Take it from someone who has (indirectly) started many flame wars and (directly) ended them.

I guess what I'm getting at is that no-one's making you leave the board just because, in your opinion, you have little to contribute that's of any interest to people. Granted, there are a lot of Mcs and Outies and Reruns and nobodys on the forums, but they're the exceptions. You don't have to unregister. No-one is unwelcome here unless they make themselves such. You've done nothing of that sort. Stick around.

Besides, it's not like you have people petitioning for your banishment from the Smiley board. :)

Gents,

Thanks for your interest and sincere words.

I wasn't looking to make a deal (big or small) out of it.  I would have done it silently if I'd been able to figure out how to do it. 

I don't mean to offend anyone by asking to unregister and no one here has offended or belittled me in the slightest.

I'm not criticizing the ss.net board, nor any of the (MANY) knowledegable, helpful, bright, charming, generous, inquisitive, etc etc etc members, owners or moderators by asking to un-register.  I just don't feel the need to be registered. Seriously.

If it helps the eyeball count or something, keep me registered.

Cheers

It would have to be less than half: about 40% of the people who are registered have never posted even that one (bootleg-begging) time; another third or so have posted fewer than 10 times, though. That segment would usually include the ones Real Beach Boy is talking about... Sorry about the seemingly bad info as to where the Delete button is, though. Perhaps we've chosen different settings/looks, because for me that's where it is. (Under Actions, bottom link in left nav of profile section.)

He's right - I can't see the 'delete account' option either, on account of it not being there. WTF is this place, Hotel California ?   ;D

"You can check out any time you like, but can never leave." Correct!  ;D

Moderators do have that option though. So if Stample insists, we can unregister him. But, again, unless someone's clearly breaking rules, we'd rather not.

I most certainly have "Delete This Account" in my profile. Have I been promoted? Am I jesus?

Some people just can't take a hint...... ;)

Oh, now I get the hint. I am definitely Jesus.

You're Jesus Christ on ecstasy.

Do I get a fuckin' glow stick or something?

Yeah, you stick it up your ass and you'll glow. :)

Wouldn't I glow already if I were jesus?

Please delete my account.

Two Reasons:
1. I don't appreciate being assailed for my opinions.
2. This board is too Brian-centric for my tastes.

This is the first and last board that I will ever join. This place has not been a very nice experience to share my opinions. You need really thick skin to survive in here, and mine is only normal thickness. To AGD, Jon, Ed, TheRealBeachBoy and others who do know proper etiquette, thank you for the experience.

wow, now THAT's the first time I read this about this board...

@ drbeachboy: we don't usually delete someone else's account. I get the idea you've taken some of the replies to your posts very personal (on the "THE BEACH BOYS EYING UP TO FIVE FREE GLOBAL REUNION SHOWS" topic). But to be honest (trying to look objective here) some of your posts also were very -ehm- direct (thinking of the correct word here) , or at least this is how some people have interpreted it. That's one of those nice pitfalls on messageboards: different interpretations someone else's writings. Topics like Mike vs Brian or (possible) reunions bring out the strongest opinions on this board. It almost seems that if the BB in one way or another seems to end a quarrel, the fans start a new one. SmileySmile is known for it -somestimes- lively discussions, and believe me, I've seen way more heated discussions on this board then the one you were in. Please let said discussion rest: you've expressed your feelings, and have made you point. Others have as well. You don't have to friends with everybody on this board, but don't let your personal feelings towards 1 or 2 members have the upper hand on your decision on wanting to end you account.
