I want all my past posts to not have my real name as a copy right. I changed it in the members area, but it doesnt have any effect on posts already made.

If you cant do that then please delete my old posts. The reason I am doing this is because I am finding that if someone searches my name in google, they can see my poems. I know I shouldn't have put my name there if I wanted to remain anonymous, but what are the odds that someone would who knows me would come to PIPs anyway?

Thanks for help.

PS I have another user name and dont anticipate using this one. If thats not allowed feel free to delete this account along with any posts made. Thank you.

I've done a search on your originating posts and found them to total fewer than ten.  That's not a lot and won't make a huge job for anyone.  They all date back to 1999, though - and our philosophies have evolved a bit since the first days of these forums.

I don't have time to complete the job until later, but did update a couple just by bumping them.  That kicks in your new profile information.  I haven't looked at the rest yet, but I did find that you posted one in both Adult and Teen - That may be a problem.  We may be better just to delete the post in Teen, as it might be inappropriate for today's guidelines.  Would that do?

Other than those little glitches, I have no problem helping.  It's a quick fix...

If I remember correctly the post that was in adult, was deleted off of the teen forum for being to risque and moved to adult.

Specifically it is this thread that I want to be updated. This is the one that comes up on search engines when my name is typed in.

Google's crawling activities are rule entirely by links. The more links Googlebot sees to a page, the more frequently he will return to index that page. So, the new link in this thread might help a bit getting it visited sooner. If you can get another site or two to link to the page, that will also likely speed up the process.
