Could somebody please delete my old account:

abcdefghijklmnop

And if at all possible, the posts that go along with it.

Privacy issues, that's all.

Thank you in advance!

Uh...NO, that would get rid of the HERECOMESTHECHIZZANGEEVERYBODYYIPPEEE thread!

Privacy issues? What, you got a g/f who snoops around here or something?

Call me paranoid, but my old user name was also my email, thus makes it pretty easy to find. Normally I wouldn't care, but this is the email I foolishly put on my resume & thus a google search ... so forth ...

Change your email. Deleting your internet tracks is pretty much impossible at this point.

Incidentally dude, you should probably get a new e-mail that doesn't spell out Dr. Butch with 13 in place of the B. :lol:

I had to do the same since neither of my usual e-mail accounts are all that "professional" sounding.

When I was in uni, I used my uni account for applying for jobs. When that expired, I created a gmail account that was essentially the same.

Learned also that if you want to delete or close your account profile in FB, it WON'T delete your data as that is technically their data (the part of the terms of service that you didn't read). That data still remains in the FB ether... Instead, if you want to eliminate your FB tracks, you should instead replace all the data in your profile with garbage information or just blanks. FB does not keep earlier versions of your profile data, so if you replace your current data with no data or garbage, that data will remain in their index files. Keep that profile in FB and in time, your old FB profile will eventually be worth very little.

This, however, won't make you completely invisible... If friends tag you in their videos, photos, etc. their data will still be there so...

google your real name and see what pops up. If you google mine, only thing that comes up is my twitter account, (which i want) and my stats from hockey and soccer leagues i play in. Which i want cause they are legendary!

I've set my FB status to the highest security settings, you can't even search me in there.

Thankfully I have a pretty common name (hell I'm the fifth one in my family alone).

BTW Butch you better damn well name your first child "Purple".

You bet! I've tossed around the idea of "Otter" or "Timber" for names as well if I ever have children!

So I made a more professional email finally ... it was just downright careless of me to make my usernames on many sites the same as my main email.

Nothing is private on the internet!
