AI Thread Summary
To delete an account on Physics Forums, users must send a private message to an admin, as accounts are not deleted upon request to maintain thread integrity. While posts cannot be deleted, accounts can be banned, effectively closing them. Users are encouraged to contact a mentor or respond in the forum if they wish to proceed with a ban. Alternatively, simply ceasing to post is an option, as the forum does not pursue inactive members. The process emphasizes maintaining the continuity of discussions.

I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
