Need old thread of mine removed...
Hello,

I made a thread a long time ago and i need this removed because i am afraid some people who may know me in real life could search up my nick and search this site
This thread has some personal details about my life which i do not want no one to know.

If a moderator could pm me about arrangements to help me remove this thread could you please pm asap

I Thankyou

Would you be able to delete it permanently?

Posting about it publicly probably isn't helping, most of the old threads are in Google's cache, archive.org, etc., anyway. (guessing you're talking about the "Why" thread?)

There's some place at Google where you can request that they re-check for a removed page.

You would need to send a request to Google to have them do that

It seems a bit more complicated:

Insert meta tags into a deleted page? I can't do that.

Unless the page actually gives a 404, that's the only way to remove it from google's cache AFAIK.

Well, they've got to update it eventually -- so it should show the error, or be removed.
