    Ya, I know you can't do anything about google. I contacted google. They told me that you need to close the threds or posts that contain my domain name. It will take them a month on their side to upgade their engine index. They just said that google can't closed down the post fourms only the mods of ubuntu fourms or webmaster can closed down the threads or edit them or delete them.

    So you had to either edit those posts to delete my domain name or close the thread or post.

    You posted your information on a public forum and it was indexed by google. It will probably always be in the google data base. There are tons of sites indexed by google that are no longer active, so I do not think it "goes away" after a month.

    If you keep searching google for this information, it is going to rise higher and higher on the search results as, due to your searching, it is more and more popular.

    As far as I know the information you posted on this site has already been removed, we can not remove it a second time, there is nothing more to be done.

    If you feel your site is compromised by this information best spend your energy securing your site
