Hello,

Oh dear - I've done a stupid thing.

I created a forum a couple months ago to support the website I am creating for teaching children English.  My website is not ready yet, but I just wanted to see if I could create a forum.  I didn't do much to it except change the theme, and haven't been back to it since.

I have now discovered that it has become a forum for pornography and wierdos.  It has 166 members!

It gets worse - I tried to log in using the details I recorded, but there is evidently some mistake as it says my user details don't exist. 

I urgently want to get in and clean up the forum.  What do I do?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi
Thanks for replying.

I was too impatient to get this horrible thing off of the air so I deleted the directory via FTP.

I will have to look into security measures to take so as not to have this happen again before I create another forum.

I am sure my login details were correct so I am thinking on of the members messed around with them.

Is there any way Ican get rid of the pornographic Google entries relating to my site name?

Thank you.

Deborah

You may be able to do that if you contact Google. Frankly I don't know if they will do that or not. If you have a forum and you plan to leave it unattended for any length of time you should disable new registrations and disable guest posting.
