I need to delete a public webpage on Angelfire.com, they won't let me.?
Question:
I was bored and looked up my name and saw the webpage come up. I tried logging into Angelfire to delete the page, but I couldn't remember the password I used.
They ask for :
Member name : which i know
email : which was my school email that I can still log into
last name: back then I used a bunch of fake names when signing up for accounts
home address: same thing, i used fake addresses, who puts their real address??
So customer service emailed me back saying they won't be able to delete the page unless I give the name, address & DOB I used when I signed up with. I mean the email address I am EMAILING from is what I used to sign up with back then.
Is there anything I can do, it's very frustrating to see information about yourself online and you can't do anything to take it down...
Answer:
Check the User Terms and Conditions for having an Angelfire account, and then break it. You should be able to get your account suspended by breaking the rules.
Not a very diplomatic way to do it, but what the hell, if they won't help, take matters into your own hands.
Failing that, just edit the site and break the links or change the pics.
This is probably the easiest route: Commit one of these "acts" to get yourself banned, set up another site, and report yourself to Angelfire. Hopefully, they get it right on the first try. I would personally advertise yourself selling something on the illegal list, or maybe "purchasing" something on the auctions without intent to complete the transaction.
