I did it...

[mrsrek10]

I submitted my request on the deletion thread at TB to have my account deleted. I have no allegiance to TB. My only allegiance is to J12. I joined to be as supportive as I can be to other moms and to receive support. TB was just a means to do that and now we have a new means...

I didn't go out in a blaze of glory though I thought about it for a minute or two. Ultimately, i didn't want to give them any more of my time or energy.

J12 for lyfe

I did the same - in the end, my time just isn't worth it.

How do you delete your account?

[jennmm]

Where is the deletion thread?

[mrsrek10]

forums.thebump.com/categories/bumphq

To delete you have to go to the link and post that you want a deletion on the account delete thread.

If they delete your account, do they also delete all comments you've ever made or is your account just deactivated?

I asked for them to delete everything I had done to make it like my account never existed. You can specify to them what you want.

[jennmm]

I found the thread. You have the option of deleting only your account info or account and content.

You have to ask for account deletion and complete content deletion.

[babywinks]

I did it too! I deleted all but one of my bookmarks too - I only saved that one to make sure they follow through with my request.

[USCgirl]

I am going to keep what I need and do the same. J12 is special for sure!

[junkytrunk]

I can't believe that we can't just delete our own accounts. That seems ridiculous to me.

[snickers4everyone]

What's really annoying is that it takes 48 hours for deletion, but since they are going in "batches" you never know when that 48 hours will start. And if you log in to check your account status during that 48 hours, it cancels your deletion (or so claims TB). So people are waiting a few days and trying to log in to see if the account is gone, but either they haven't been deleted yet or are in the process and cancel the deletion.
It's just so much fuckery my mind can't handle it.

I didn't realize that... that shit is messed up!  Why would logging in cancel the deletion?

[paddyb]

I just posted for deletion.

[mrsrek10]

I am checking my deletion but not logging in. I am just going to the J12 page to see if my post is still there. I am just dirty lurking like a nonmember of TB. If I don't disappear by Friday, they will get an email.

They say that the way it's set up, logging in during that time will result in your content being wiped (posts, etc) but not the actual account. So they still have you to count towards their member numbers. Mighty convenient, IMO.
Supposedly you can get a status update on your deletion by emailing them. Because, you know, TB is well known for responding and in a timely manner too.

Delete request sent

[mrsrek10]

Just checked and I am officially gone from TB.

[starfishy]

Looks like I'm gone as well. Although I clicked on a link of my name and my avatar cAme up. Weird.

[babywinks]

I'm gone too - that was really fast. I guess they are getting good at it from all the practice.

[sunshinelady]

But but but.... How will we search epic threads like the lambtown beat down and awesome maternity photos?

[bantyrooster]

But but how will I have street cred with my 55 posts here?! I have 5k over there!! But for real how do I delete my avatar there? I can only see my siggy area.

[Deleted]

I just requested deletion. We'll see....

[paddyb]

It looks like my account has been deleted!

I changed me avatar to one of theirs

[Deleted]

Mine has too. They just lie to lie at this point. So much for 48 hours.

[huskiefanuw]

I just requested too

[tribute17]

Yep me too. I need to check.

[summergirl1211]

Is anyone else not wanting to delete their stuff yet? I am really struggling with this. It makes it so final, even though I know it's not our home anymore.
