Deregistration from Pprune
How does one deregister from Pprune?
I have said enough and I am beginning to repeat myself. I need to get out more and go flying.

Sunfish stay - Ken can go away instead
Sunfish, no need to do that. Take a break for a few weeks mate, then come back.
Now on the other hand, Ken Borough, how about you de-register and reposition yourself under managements feet....knob jockey

Not again Sunfish? 
This is getting repetitious. The neighbours will start talking........ 
Sunfish: 7 December 2006:
Get out more, sniff the roses - or the avgas - and leave your computer alone for awhile! 
And when you're ready to return I'm sure we can restart our love affair!

Goodnight and Goodbye.
I've decided that there is no benefit for me that I cannot find somewhere else on the web, therefore PPRuNe is more of a liability than a resource.
I could wax lyrical on Boeing, Ansett, certain RAAF stuff let alone my lone experience learning to fly instead of just sitting in cockpits during lunchtime.
However, I've decided that it is better to lurk than to post.
Let the record show that I believe Qantas is a wart on the bum of progress. let it also show that I believe GA has a great future, in part because of the failings of Qantas.
Let it also show that there is "room for improvement" in the training, care and feeding of students of all degrees,
Good night and goodbye. There is nothing here of value to me.

De-registering is a bad idea because removing your posts will fragment the threads and confuse those reading old discussions.
Take a break and we'll see you back soon.
I am wondering about your "more flying" comment given your recent trip.

Why do people make a big fuss about leaving? If you've had enough don't you just stop visiting?

Well tbh, because some people just like to find a new way to be noted.
This is certainly not case with Sunfish.
Forum posting, as with gambling, bonking good looking co-pilots etc is an addiction. You either manage it, or abscond totally.
Sunfish is a prolific poster in this area, so i take it he has an addiction to sharing his knowledge with us plebs, and he way to manage it is to depart rwy 09.
I tend to lurk around here, often simply watching/reading/learning, only commenting on topics that truly interest me, or in some way affect me.....the later forms my current post.
Sunny, if you decide to depart us, you WILL be missed, i have enjoyed the banter with you over the last few years. You have never been critical, but simply pointed me in the right direction to find the info to correct the error in my thoughts. You have created a personality for yourself here, based on experience and knowledge.
Cheers

Sunny I de-registered once and had all the posts deleted by a moderator, it does what triple x says and makes the threads dis-jointed so don't do that. Besides the fact your posts are fantastic and a great read
I'm slowly using prune less and less, it's worse than smoking and over eating. Aviation is an overwhelmingly negative industry, I've worked in a stack of industries and this one's ethics are below them all, although, it does make the decent people you meet stand out! It's the sum of all who participate in it (which doesn't say much really).
Aviation has now become 'too hard' to participate in, a true reflection of the 'nanny state.' Had a great time and did memorable trips that contributed to life's character building but it aint worth it anymore.
Here's to fading away gracefully and not re-registering under another user name...................

Sunny, Don't do it!! Just like the others have said; Don't log in for a while.
Besides, I believe Gaunty still occasionally lurks about, and Chuckles is around somewhere.

Ah, Teresa my dear, Gaunty last graced Dunnunda on March 24 this year, Chimbu Chuck a mere 14 hours and 2 minutes ago and that naughty Brisboy has been AWOL since 25 November 2007.
Unless of course, they have alternate "personalities" and have been around more recently......
And Mola mola, whose signature is "Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get me.........", indeed graced PPRuNe at 10.13 am this morning!
And I'll wager a stubbie or three that our Mola mola won't be able to resist the temptation to post just one more wise comment.....
Correct that - Chuck logged onto PPRuNe as I was posting.
G'Day Chuck, you were up late last night/early this morning? You were accused of being absent without a note from Mummy!

There's a regular on the Military Forum with over 14,000 posts.
Speaking of absent PPRuNers. did anyone find out if Bushy is okay?
Sunfish, we all enjoy your stuff, maybe just take a small sabbatical and that will do the trick. D&G RP has been a pretty depressing place to hang out over the past few months, but that's indicative of the state of the industry.

Tailwheel out of interest do you know the max number of posts by any Pruner? I myself am hopeful of cracking 100 posts before you banish me!
I have seen a few users with 8,000 plus posts, mostly on other PPRuNe Forums. The job would be too big to find the highest posting score and besides, some users post under more than one user name - and think we don't know - or those that were forced to reregistered new user names after the "big melt down" around 2002, or those banned and re-registered.
A few of the regulars:
Sunfish: reg 4 Aug 2004: 3,894 posts = approx 1.5 posts per day
Tinpis: reg 29 Aug 2005: 3,541 posts = approx 1.6 posts per day
ForkTailedDrKiller: reg 18 January 2007: 2,925 posts = approx 1.8 posts per day
Jabawocky: 16 July 2007: 3,915 posts = approx 2.7 posts per day
VH-XXX; reg 9 Feb 2006: 2,767 posts = approx 1.4 posts per day
Wally Mk2: reg 15 Dec 2008: 834 posts = approx 0.913 posts per day
Chimbu Chuckles: reg 8 June 2000; 4,375 posts = approx 1.1 posts per day
Obviously the oldest registration or longest registered user would be Danny. I registered around number 75 in 1996, although many of the earlier registrations are now gone. There are many PPRuNe users who have been registered and active for over ten years.
Busy's last visit and last post was 7 April 2011.
