Hellobee Boards

@babyjmama: I think it will say deactivated user but the posts stay?

Girl don't leave.

@babyjmama: When you deactivate/shutdown an account, the old threads/posts stay up... but we can change the name of your account before shutdown as well, so that your old profile page doesn't show up any more.

Your profile page would be accessible at boards.hellobee.com/profile/new-username though, if someone clicked over from an old comment/wall post.

Let me know if that answers your question!

@mrbee: if you change the name of the account does it show the threads made under the old name? You just have to know the new username to access it? trying to see the benefit in changing the name prior to deleting?

@mrbee: that does answer it!thanks!

@Adira: Ah sorry, actually that option only appears for gold bees... and gold expires when someone deactivates their account!

@Adira: Your posts will be just as viewable or not as they were before? We always leave all gold posts as private forever, both on the main boards and on walls.

The only thing affected would be the list of posts in your profile...

@Adira: That's a privacy feature for gold bees... we usually expire gold when someone deactivates their account, and either issue a refund or gift it to someone else (if requested).

We could always leave the gold on the deactivated account? But then the person would have to re-up their gold every year... unless we changed it so that if someone was gold when they shutdown, somehow the list of posts was still private. If you'd like to see that, please post to the suggestions forum!

@mrbee: Everyone will eventually outgrow this site at some point in their lives. I think paying for gold at some point should grant them the option of keeping their post list private even once they move on since there are not really ongoing costs to the site of keeping that list hidden.

@Adira: Please let me know whether or not you plan to post this in the help section so I can either agree with it, or post it myself if you don't plan to.

@MamaMoose: This wasn't something that has come up before now, so it's not something we had thought about. It does sounds reasonable though, so it's something we will look into when we have a chance.

@MamaMoose: I agree. I'm not sure if I would keep paying $$ for gold to keep posts private. Maybe if there were some sort of lifetime gold?

And,by lifetime I don't mean $$$$
