How would I delete my account?

Get over yourself. When AOL makes you an offer, let us know. (Delete or Edit for 15 minutes)

zomg a bigger company owning a smaller one whatever will we do, that's why i don't use gmail i have to use a small and independent webmail company because hey while it may be down 99% of the time they're not owned by a huge corporation and i can be angsty as i like and not get noxious (Delete or Edit for 15 minutes)

Just because you love SocialThing enough to not care who owns it, doesn't mean everyone has to agree with you. Besides, delete should always be an option regardless of your reason for wanting to do so. (Delete or Edit for 15 minutes)

Then say so, instead of leaving angsty emotions like "I'm noxious" say "I disagree with the policies of the parent company which will soon be applied to the child company and therefore I would like to close my account as per the TOS" or something, something that has merit. Plurk also doesn't have a delete account option, so you might not want to sign up there. In fact, I have no idea if GSFN has one such option, I think you have to ask as well for this website :-/ (Delete or Edit for 15 minutes)

I think your reaction is more ridiculous than my typing "noxious" in the cute little smiley box. I use that for amusement/humor mostly when I leave support requests. And in this case, the humor was directed at the audience that might agree with such a view in light of news of aquisition. The body of my post was perfectly sane and non-angsty. I expressed the desire for this feature (though it should not have to be a feature!) and dropped a hint to as to my reason. There are no exit interviews in Web2.0 and I felt like leaving a clue for their benefit. So please stop trolling GS for people you assume to be idiots to flame.

And for the record:

Plurk DOES have a delete option.
as does GS (via a help topic and thread). (Delete or Edit for 15 minutes)

I was not aware the status changed, see this thread: http://getsatisfaction.com/plurk/topi... - And I'm not calling you an idiot, I just see a rash of people leaving a service whenever a bigger company purchases it, like what happened when Flickr got purchased by Yahoo!. The whole thing feels like fans of a band not liking it anymore if they are in any way successful and no longer "indie", who actually somehow oppose that something or someone they like is doing well. That's the attitude that bothers me, sorry for having offended you by noticing it. (Delete or Edit for 15 minutes)

Don't know what to say except don't believe everything you read on here. (Delete or Edit for 15 minutes)

I'd like to make amends. I can understand how the "jumping ship" can get old. And I don't object to every large company that purchases a service I use... but there are some I try to avoid more than others, and I'm by no means consistent, I only take action if it really gets noticed, and this time, I caught the news right away. Was only on ST to investigate and honestly enjoy FriendFeed more. So no loss in dropping this one. Or one would have thought until I realized a delete mechanism has not been added yet. Sorry for taking the defensive and ST is still a cool service, just not for me anymore. (Delete or Edit for 15 minutes)

Honestly, I agree, FriendFeed is better because I can't figure out how to post to Twitter from SocialThing! (except in reply to other tweets), and whether the feature is there or not is irrelevant, it is simply too hard to find. I suppose you could use the method mentioned earlier of contacting them directly and asking? (Delete or Edit for 15 minutes)

Easy there, buick. Point taken. (Delete or Edit for 15 minutes)
