If I were you I would delete out any and all pictures you've uploaded, and then go ahead and go to your posts and edit them and delete whatever out of it.
Even if they "ban" you it won't remove you (you can go back and find posts of people who have been banned).
I'm so sorry you've been harassed -- I *have* been stalked before and to be perfectly honest, you can trust ***yourself*** to protect yourself, so just go to any/all posts and delete them. (in other words -- if YOU do it you will know what info is there and what is NOT there, and I highly doubt they can fully delete anything massively -- I doubt it's possible and all the mods are merely volunteers)
There also exists the posts before the forum changed 5 years ago? And I think you were active back then?
I'm honestly not sure they *can* delete you.
At the very least you will likely want to change your 'nickname' online. I'm not being glib -- "callie" is no part of my own 'real' name and that all grew out of the fact that I had to ditch an ex who stalked me online & in real life. It's not fair -- when it's a name that has been "yours" for ages, but you can't replace "you" and you CAN change' your online personna.
Just make sure you delete any email stuff out of your profile, and deactivate that account.
In fact, I"m pretty sure if you ASK the moderators they will "deactivate" you (which is what happens when you are banned) but that is NOT going to remove anything you've posted. I just went back and checked -- I can still see banned people who are "friends" and their name/pic shows up but if I click on them it says they are deactivated. So I doubt highly that you can be "deleted" in any way -- that just doesn't happen. But you can make yourself un-contactable, and dry up all the lose ends.
You shouldn't need to delete "all" your posts-- only ones that refer to family and personal information
Feel free to email me if you want -- like I said, I *have* dealt with this before and I truly "get" what that sort of anguish and anger is, and I know the steps I took then (and STILL do).
My email is in my signature -- if you want to know the stuff I did to get rid of the jerk let me know. I was pretty danged successful. There are certain things, like having your mail come to the mailbox down at the road that can make it incredibly easy to "keep track of you". grrrrrr
