As I have been on the road with out access to the board, I read and sent your read receipt upon my return this afternoon.
Mods often times have real world obligations that require them to be away from the board.
If you will read the reply sent to you, you will have your answer.
As to your comment about "There needs to be a way for people to close their account's themselves" everyone should feel free to send an e-mail from their hobby e-mail account to
websupport@eccie.net when ready to leave eccie.
However the Admins will ask for a reason for the request.
