    Hey. Im requesting this archive be deleted on behalf of a friend of mine. Hes not happy with his name in the thread and that it appears under a google search of his name. Is there anyway it could be removed.

    Cheers

    If I've seen this thread when it was fresh, I would have deleted it.

    Now all we have is a complete asshole trying to appear to be not a complete asshole.

    I have saved a private copy of the thread. It will never leave the web. It may or may not leave this website, but it will never leave the web. I can set up 10 websites to host it in as many seconds.

    Have a nice life.

    Jaysus, somebody's on the blob!

    I wish to reiterate again the important question posed earlier...did he win the bet?

    You know you'll have to petition Google as well? Just deleting it here won't mean diddly squat to a Google search.

    People can change Talliesin. That could turn up when he's looking for a job, or when a family friend is looking for him etc. It could have a real affect on his life. Why do that to him?

    EDIT: Or, it could be a humungous joke. I forgot that option
