So, I haven’t used this account in quite a while, my last post was from _august 2020_. I’m not sure if there’s any point in keeping this account if I’m never going to use it. Hell, I don’t even play the game anymore.

Depending on the settings of this forum, you can go into your preferences and click the delete button (“Delete My Account”).

If it has [the default settings](https://meta.discourse.org/t/allow-the-users-to-deactivate-or-delete-their-accounts/128813/2), you probably can’t delete it on your own, as it would be set so your account can’t have more than 1 post and can’t be older than a few days…

Doesn’t seem like I can. Whatever, I suppose this account will remain here for the time being, or rather, until the heat death of the universe.
