  Hi there,

  I started a thread on these forums last week about trying to remove my full name from the blog’s google listing. Well, the responses helped and my name doesn’t come up for the blog anymore. But of course, that forum thread is now one of the first results and includes my name!

  Could a mod please help me out and delete this thread

  Would be much appreciated,
  Cheers

  And of course you just created another thread with your name as the ID.

  The best way to make these things go away is to let them die a natural death and be buried deep among millions of other results instead of bumping them back up.

  That particular thread seems to be the only one that comes up on google. I wrote my full name in the posts. The other couple i have started (under my username) are nowhere to be found.

  Links to existing threads from threads here boost those original threads in the Google standings.

  Hi there,

  I’m afraid our policy is to not remove threads. Thank you for your understanding.

  Cheers!
