I know this is the mod thread, and I apologise for stepping into it for a bit.
HOWEVER

Posts you place on forums no longer actually belong to the poster anymore, they are the IP of the host (in this case Gateworld) and there is not a lot you can do about that. Sky and Baggie are quite correct in saying that the software simply could not handle "mass deletions" as it not only affects your post, but people who have quoted your post who may not wish to have their posts deleted.
At absolute best, a host can move your posts to a non visible thread, but it requires ALOT of work, something Mods on a free forum simply should not be expected, or asked to do.
As the Poster however, you CAN go back and delete your own posts, but the Onus for that work is on you, not the Host, or the Mods.
None of this information should be taken as GW policy, as I do not speak for GW, but I do know how forums work and you can take it as a "basic course in forums" if you so desire.

Thanks folks. I wasn't asking about posts on threads - it's been so long since I commented on any thread that they'll be long buried anyway. I just wondered if I could close my account in such a way that my profile was no longer visible. I was able to do that on a few other sites and it appeals to my OCD sense of tidiness! No worries if it's not possible here.

the fanbase is probably small here on gateworld but i was wondering how about having a Mass Effect theme?

[pookey]

I second this, if possible

Listed M.E. for discussion amongst ye Mods.

Suggestion for the monthly theme; GET SMART {classic TV series actually; not the recent movie}

I mention it because, well, I'm watching season two

[Bagpuss]

Listed for discussion.Have to admit I've never seen the 1965 or 1995 series,or the 2008 movie.

That isn't a "no way!" in disguise,but to requote Sky:

Suggestions are always welcome. The general criteria is popularity/general knowledge of the theme (show, movie, etc) and how well the mods know it....since we make it up, it's gotta be something we're familiar with.

I'm talking of the CLASSIC series with Don Adams; I just know that'd I'd make a PERFECt Agent 13. In fact, Baggie you do know your hair care cabinet needs reoriginsing right ?

HEY! I asked a question {bolded test}

[Bagpuss]

Still clueless,I'm afraid,but intrigued!

[Nolamom]

I'm agent 99! Poor Maxwell - anything but Smart had to love his shoe phone though.

[ScifigirlSG]

I'd like to suggest the old tv show The Avengers with Diana Rigg.

Agent 13 {and Agent 24} were the agents that get staked out in weird places, for example, Agent 13 got shipped into KAOS HQ inside a SOFA, another time when CONTROL saved the life of an Arab prince, Agent 13 was locked inside the FIREPLACE, then when classical paintings were disappearing from the local art house, Agent 13 was in one of those wall paintings! Agent 24 however was best known and seen in the two part episode of season one of Get Smart wherein they were on a cruiseship, Agent 24 was reassigned after getting shot to a deskjob {which he actually preferred}

Ah! The Black Queen herself.

Have we had The Prisoner as a theme yet?
