The only reason for such a drastic move is abuse from the community. I didn't see anything happen to her, but I've definitely been verbally (character-ally?) attacked on this site. There's no room for that, no matter what you think of someone or their posts.
It's possible that she was harassed by IM and that's why it seems like it happened out of the blue.
Slow rage quits are a problem on other boards, too, and I've actually seen forums go so far as to put things in place to prevent it, rather than prevent the actual problem.
Also, it's possible she got hacked and isn't doing it.

She said in a post a couple of weeks ago something akin to the fact that for practical reasons Japanese will never be able to play a super-big role in her life, and it's just not worth all the effort. She said that she's going to stop studying new stuff, but do a little to keep up a bit with some of what she already learned. (I hope I'm getting the jist of it right--I hate it when people misquote me, haha)
It could just be that she's made a decision and did it to make sure she would stick with the decision?
I have her real e-mail, I believe. Maybe I should send her an e-mail and make sure everything's alright?

I noticed that she stopped following me on smart.fm and lang-8 as well. Though she did send me an enthusiastic personal email about her experience in Nagoya last month. It is very strange. I wonder if she is okay.

Yeah I wonder where that dude went, too.
IceCream.... the post deletage goes far back... 0.0
I think she got caught in the 八百長 fishnet somehow.
Seriously though, we were supposed to hang out in Kyoto later this month. I feel very worried not knowing what happened to her.

Melted.
But bad jokes aside, it is very worrying. Why would one go to such an effort to delete their posts?

I'm sure she has her reasons. And I highly doubt it is from abuse inside. I think you ought to have alittle more faith in these forums wccrawford.

Melted? I thought Aijin ate her.
Seriously though, it's quite a shame. I liked reading her posts; they were always full of energy.
I can confirm what Tzadeck said, though. And this does smell rather fishy... hope you find her soon.

I don't believe anyone would bother manually deleting 1800+ posts (Unless there's some easy way to do that I'm not aware of). Maybe some kind of hack?
She didn't delete them all. She still has 1831 posts under her profile. She mainly deleted the posts on threads she started it seems.
I read a thread previously with her posts, like the one resolve just posted, that can not be deleted because it was locked. So it seemed all of her posts that could be deleted were.

If its a hack is it reversible? But I somehow doubt it, if I got hacked I'd just create another account and post about that.
I remember that post Tzadeck is talking about and wondered at that time what happened and what changed her mind. Never thought it was serious enough to create such drama.

IceCream seems to be a fairly emotional person. I wouldn't put it past her to manually delete all her posts, though it does seem rather extreme. At any rate, I hope she's alright.
