Is there a way to delete an entire topic you have started. Or, is there also a way to move a topic you've created to another discussion section without writing down the topic a 2nd time?

On forums, usually, you can only delete your own messages (not the ones from others).
If you want to delete a all thread or to have it moved somewhere else, I think you have to ask a moderator to do so.

If you ask a moderator...

... we're unlikely to delete a thread (unless rules are being broken).

We're usually fully open to moving a thread to a more appropriate forum..

... with one exception: we would not move a thread from the "Member's Only" section, or the "Adult" forum, to one with less restriction. The contributors might not be at all happy to see their threads made public!

...and posting identical messages in different forums is generally frowned upon as it fills them with repeats and prevents content from being seen. Just contact one of the moderators, and we'll be glad to help where we can.
