Unfortunately at the time, he started deleting all of his Trip Reports, and we just can't have that. It left a lot of threads partial, with a lot of comments and replies. So, rather than deleting his account, we just put it on "hold". He can't log in at the moment. I thought he would like to come back eventually, and start back where he left off.
He has our email address, and at least the
admin@bogley.com ... None of us have heard from him though. I'd like him back, and if anybody has contact with him, please talk to him and let him know we'd like to have him back.
Now, on the subject of deleting a member; it's useless, it's a waste of time, and deleting a member's complete content is kind of disruptive to the flow. You have to accept that if you use our services here for free, we technically have the right to your content that you post here. Even if you paid for a membership, we would still be able to control your content. You may think we're getting greedy for content, but we all know the rewards for having a place to post our photos.
Now we're not going to be jerks about it, and we've deleted members in the past, but we're getting too old/busy/tired of going through a member's every post and deleting their stuff. If you want to leave, just change your email address so you won't see notifications from the forum. You also have the choice to not log in anymore.
