I do have to agree that a remove account button would be useful, but

This will avoid confusion as I might accidentally login on my old unused account, and start replying on topics I started with the other account.
You need to keep in mind that the email address is different for all CodeProject accounts (I believe), so you should be able to just use the correct email when logging in.

Sure, but it's just weird this account's going to be here for eternity, while I'm absolutely certain I won't ever use it, as I've got another one. I wonder if it's just because Codeprojects don't want to see their shiny 5.5 million members number go down... ;)

I suspect that it has more to do with referential integrity. If you delete an account, then shouldn't the messages go with it? What happens to threads then? Things are bad enough with people deleting messages, without making it worse.

So make the username/password columns of the table optional. Then null them to delete the account.

Simplest thing is to not ever use the account again. I have an old one from 7 years ago that I lost the login info for, and it doesn't hurt anything.
