Status on deleting posts?
I've seen and read this thread a while ago (http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/s...php?p=23747500), but it seems that threads and posts stay. That post was nearly 2 years ago.
I have edit rights, but with 19,000+ posts, it's very time consuming to prune.
As far as I understand with vBulletin, it's very easy with the version of vB that audiworld is running to delete a user and all their posts along with it. In fact it's only a 3 step process.
Is audiworld willing to do this for users?

a few reasons...
1. A lot of my content in the form of links and pictures is dead (bad links, sites down, etc.). I had a lot of stuff linking from my former domain which doesn't exist anymore.
2. A lot of my content is useless, and are just simple replies or trolls.
3. I'm trying to minimize my web presence.
4. I don't want the posts anymore.
I know a lot of people after IB bought AW and switched formats wanted to get rid of their posts; many because they didn't like the new format. Some because they didn't want IB to "own" their content. And some just because they didn't like AW anymore. That doesn't factor into my request.
Is it possible to have my account and all its associated posts and threads removed?

I'd PM Kris then if you want this. I know I don't have the ability to delete that many posts - and I doubt that Kris does too. Frankly think you are SOL.
It's like having tats - If you want to limit your exposure on the web (or tats) - after the fact - too late.

Thanks. I'll see what he says.
I've got no problem with what I've posted, I kind of just don't want it anymore. elitotaco is elitotaco. I haven't associated myself with the name in real life.

Basically what I've done in the past is prune posts in any of the non-Audi forums (off topic, etc). the goal is to keep any valuable Audi related posts obviously.
If that's satisfactory, I'll go ahead with it.
