Hello again VirtualTeen! My it's been years since I've been on here... I hope everyone is doing well!
Just recently I was dinking around on the internet and decided to google my name, and upon looking through the links I was fascinated to find that a large number of the links were to posts on this website.
Now, don't get me wrong, this is a fantastic forum, but it's something I'd rather not have my parents find (again) or have any of my friends find, and also I can't remember the last time I posted anything on here except for this post right now.
My question is, is there a way for an admin to somehow delete my account and all of my past posts so that google doesn't show this website in the results?

Deleting posts isn`t done unless the post has broken the rules/is inappropriate, and accounts aren`t deleted because it causes confusion in the forums. If you don`t want people to find you on here, remove any details that could link you to them.

Posts can be done under request, but under extreme cases. Though yes, we do not delete accounts, buit if this is really a concern, clear your account of all information and profile fields, change your username, whichever you feel. You're welcome back when you'd like, we just don't delete accounts because it will leave gaps in threads and other issues, especially if you decide to return, you're only allowed one account.

You can change your username in the User CP. Eventually, GoogleBot will catch on and you shouldn't see it in the search results as much after a while.
