A shout out to those considering deleting their dR account [esp. old timers here] and still on the fence. If you can -- don't.

If you're an old timer here, chances are you actually dev-ranted about real dev issues and possibly posted a solution found after all the frustration.

If you delete your acc, all these posts will disappear. Leave them be. Let them be a contribution to the community, to your fellow devs.

If this platform is no longer worth your time [can't blame you, really], you can simply log out and not come back here :)

    well, even if I get outraged and want to delete my account, I'd tell in advance.

    Given the time I have spent here over the decades and made some friends, I at least owe it to them that much.

    @Tounai It's everyone's personal choice. Hence, the preamble addresses this post to those on the fence.

    I might have one of the eldest still active accounts. I won’t go anywhere unless the platform itself does.

    About half the regulars treat this place like it's their personal blog or twitter account. They should absolutely delete their accounts and save future readers from seeing the mountains of spam they've barfed all over the site.

    Well, I'm kinda on the fence to be honest.

    Preservation is not a good motivation. Anyone with half a brain could manage to contact me if they so much needed, and in any case, any solution I might have provided is likely to be outdated, so probably there's no reason to let the account be, and deleting is best for privacy reasons.

    @CoreFusionX outdated -- naah. As long as people do legacy stuff - no solution loses its importance.

    As for contacting you - that's a bit more involving than running a google search and finding your posts from long ago :)
