I lied:

to say the least.

none of the current boards allow a user to permanently remove his account from the system, only "deactivate" this prevents a person from permanently severing their relationship with the board and leaves personal infomration on a site that has no right to have it.

I'm not sure I understand why it is necessary to completely delete all evidence of one's past existence on a forum. (Assuming you don't drink and post!)  For one, everyone participates on this board voluntarily, so the information and opinions that appear are completely within each participant's control.  Two, the only personal information that is required is a valid email address, which is, as far as I know, not even visible to other forum participants...

I think that instead of expecting a forum to "erase your tracks" (which would adversely affect thread continuity) it's better for everyone to think before they post, and understand that if you drop your pants in public, it's nobody's fault but your own.  (And until somebody invents one of those "Men in Black" memory erasor thingies, we'll just have to be accountable for the public stances we take on issues.)
