I want to restart this account or make a new one. - Great Destination Tracks 3 - 08-12-2023
This account is dead, and I frankly want it either deleted or replaced with a new one.
I don't have to further explain probably.

We can't delete forum accounts that have made posts, but if there's an old post with anything sensitive in it, you should be able to edit it out.
If you'd like a new username, you should be able to change it in the User Control Panel.
If you really want a do-over, you could make a new account, but why?

It's because I'm a changed user, I don't want people, especially users on this website associating me with my old self.
Basically, I want to just remove all the posts and stuff on my past account, so I could make a brand-new one that's fitted to my rebrand.

We can't completely remove your old account - deleting over 1,000 posts would break large parts of the forum. Even if we did remove all your posts, a lot of posts would still be visible as quotes.
If you'd like to make a new account, I don't think anyone's going to stop you! Whether it's with a new account or your current one, you can work on posting cool stuff regularly to prove you've become a more mature user.

Since you can't just delete his older posts, I think JC is should just use his current account and rebrand it. It's the most simple and admittingly lazy solution.

Technically, it's possible to remove the e-mail address from an old account so you could reuse it for a new account.
But really, it's better just to keep your existing account and give it a shiny new name, a new avatar, and a new 'tude.
I know you might've made a few silly or immature posts back in the day, but nobody's going to hold that against you forever. You were young and you've changed - I trust for the better! We've had members who were far worse - even a few who got banned for a while - go on to become staff members or make some very popular games.
