delete macinsiders account?
Hello,

I have been wanting to make a MacInsiders account for quite a while now, and to my surprise, I have one!

...it's just that, I didn't make it. My ambitious friend, who I am sure means well, decided to make me one without my permission... -_-

Not only did she not ask my permission, she made me a TERRIBLE username, on purpose, no doubt >.<

Is there any way to change it now?

Or can I delete the account altogether and make a new one?

I tried to change the e-mail for this account to my old one, which would enable me to make a new account with my current e-mail, but it doesn't work

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The only way to change it is to get 1000pts and change it in the rewards centre: http://www.macinsiders.com/vbplaza.p...t&categoryid=1

I'll send you 1000pts right now.

Yep! That's the best thing to do. As for the e-mail I'm pretty sure you can change it from your settings. If not, contact Chad, maybe he can do something about changing it as well

Speaking of this points thing, I used to have like 20,000 of them... now I have around 5000.

Who's stealing all my points?

EDIT: lol, I forgot I put them in the bank in fear that someone would steal them from me.

You earn points by viewing threads, posting threads, posting replies. I think you might get points if you're thanked or if one of your posts is liked, but I'm not sure.
