how to deactivate account

Hi...you can go to account settings, and deactivate there. But it is never ever really gone as you can reactivate it at any time. So before you go, make sure to delete all your pics, comments and profile info first...update/save then deactivate account. Tedious.
Or hire a hacker to corrupt the entire site and have it crash down, like on pof. Just kidding. Sort of.
I empathize: there seem so few suitably genuine people here. Deep sigh. Best wishes for the season..."in keepin' wit da siduwashun" to quote from scrooge's maid
