Sorry, we cannot delete 37 threads. That would upset too many of our members who also posted in those threads.

While your correct if RIU doesn't wish to remove the content nor does he have to, google cache is only filtering out "working sources", if in the particular instance that RIU had deemed a thread good for removal, that thread would NOT be obtainable through google cache search after the cache attempts to update, it will realize the source is no good and filter it out of further search queues. It may still show up for immediate time being but I believe once the source has removed the item, the cache is renewed and will reflect the non-working source instead filtering it out of the search results returned.

I've made posts on forums back in 08 and the forums hosting them shut down some years ago, none of the posts are archived for public search queues through cache, but they were certainly able to be when the source was working. I believe when you make changes in the robots.txt files that can be reflected in the search queue results given to public after a certain amount of time, the point here is to remember its the source of the information where it decides if it stays on the internet or not, google cache is just re-directing you to the last known version, which it will periodically update/check for working sources.

As for private data stored by cache, yeah I'm sure any legal request thats met from google's end won't just be a simple google/cache search, they will go into private database and pull whatever information they store thats relevant, this is different from public cache search; that data is not accessible "forever" if the source is removed, there is actually plenty of discussion about how to remove google cache results that involve you, the number one rule is to always address the source first, if the source will not remove it, then you will not have it removed from cache; simple as that.

Admin won't delete your account, the amount of users logged is useful to them i believe,
You could always play up and get banned,
Which is not a bad second best,
Call a mod a **** head , vent a little, see what go on :joint:

all that does, if it does, is get you banned. posts will still remain and account still won't be deleted.

just log off and never come back. same thing as getting banned minus the anti-hero glory

Yes it can be done. You have to really bug admin. Use the "contact" button that should be at bottom right of screen. My grow buddy was on here fro three years and got paranoid and wanted to remove his account fully, it took a month of asking but it was eventually removed, everything from posts to replies to pictures are removed.
