S/O Online profiles "active/online" status

Spin off of Bully's post.....

WHY the F do they make it SOOO hard to de-activate or hide your profile but yet still show up online and such?

So....I just had the talk with the guy I am dating....he had already removed his profile, so I removed mine this weekend. BUT I want to make sure I do it "correctly" so that I dont show up as "active/online/etc" and look like a lying liar who lies.

OKC- I disabled my account. Is this sufficient?
POF- I "hid" my account. Is this sufficient?
Match- I used to have an active account there but havent used it in months.....I "think" I hide my profile or something...not sure....anything more I need to do? I dont get emails from them anymore.

Thanks!

ETA: i did delete the two apps on my phone. And I never use my computer to log in, except match

Ugh. Maybe remove any apps on your phone? I hid mine, but deleted them altogether and filtered all email to the trash after Mijo and I had been together for a while.

I know for Match I had to "hide" my profile, so it would not be visible in any searches but I would still get emails with my weekly matches and such, so I had to go into my preferences or something and select for them to not send me any email.

Because the people who want to hide or deactivate are usually the ones that someone thought were date-worthy!  Clearly you're good stuff, so they want to keep you around to market the website!

Boo, proboards!

Can someone who has OKC, POF, or match PM me and check to see if I show up still?
