Firstly, this is nothing to do with recent events. My boyfriend wants me to delete the account, which is fair enough. I can only "cancel" it though and can still see my profile. How do I delete the account permanently?

dont think theres a way. Most sites dont let you delete an account completely as it makes the server have glitches

How do you mean? I don't really know how servers work, but Aspie Affection doesn't have threads like a forum, and it has an inbox which deletes any messages inside it after 30 days.

I don't know, I don't have an account there. However, if there is no account deletion facility can you just blank out the information on there or type rubbish in?

I guess I could do that. I remember OKcupid allowing me to delete my account, so why not Aspie Affection?

The *only* affiliation between WP and Aspie Affection is the fact that Alex owns them both. The mods here have absolutely no power over the other site whatsoever.

The person to get in touch with is Alex.

i have no idea how the AspieAffection site works because it's not directly affiliated with WrongPlanet. alex advertises it on here but it's a separate project of his. you would need to try to contact him directly, i think. but there is no guarantee you'd get what you're seeking.

I am pretty pissed off over the whole thing myself... I thought using "cancel membership" would get rid of my account, it didn't. Now I can't even edit it!! So I can't remove my photos, I can't remove my information, I can't change anything.

I think this sucks!

I wouldn't recommend anybody use Aspie Affection unless they are okay with having a permanent account on that site. Yes, other sites do let you delete your accounts completely.

Worst thing is there is nobody to even get a hold of about it.

Yeah this is a huge problem. I left my email on one of them so now I'm solicited with spam forever after.
When you "cancel" your membership by the way what happens is this:
*The profile stays online exactly how you left it.
*It still receives PM's.
*If you log back in it reactivates the account only you can't "upgrade" it and you are stuck with less than basic membership which means:
----you can't do ANYTHING other than log in and check a couple of pages as well as search.
----which means you can't read those PM's or edit your profile to say you have left AA or remove any information you need to remove.

It's a joke.
