When I type my name on google I find my posts in the forum..Is there anyway I can disable that or make it more private?

I appreciate your help.
SM.

Thx for the reply rovingcowboy. I think all forums should do something about this..you know, yesterday I registered in a forum called ''Gearslutz''. I asked two questions regarding music production and a guy replied telling me that he answered my questions (both of them) via video which was uploaded to youtube, vimeo and other websties... In both of the videos he mentions my nickname and already 500 views for both ..that bothered me for some reason which I can't explain..I ended up sending a mail to support telling them that I would like to deactivate my account..
Do you know what to do in order to change my nickname here?

Thx in advance

Nobody knows your real name or identity. I don't see the problem.
You asked some (technical) questions in another forum, using the same nickname as here. Again: Why should this be a problem?

And even if some of your neighboors read this music forum (and the other one too), why should he think bad about you?

PM Rusty and ask kindly and I'm sure he can help you out since you have a good reason.

There are many like bex here, we all answer were we can and if some one else answers before we get there we generaly dont reply if they are answering the question asked of us. Its a help one and all forum here. I just got here and seen no need to answer the same as bex, no glory hounds in this forum. If your the first with the most correct answer to a question then answer it, aint any one going to jump down your neck for doing so, not here some other forums do that but we friendly to each other here, well most the time anyways? We have had moments

That's the normal behaviour of the forum software. The message will stay in the Outbox until Rusty reads it, only then will it be moved to Sent Messages.

There is no way to do what you ask. The forum is a public place on the internet which gets indexed by the search engines so it can be found. Other than making the forum invisible to search engines there is no way and this would be bad for business as less people would find MediaMonkey. Also it would make searching the forum more difficult as it's often easier to find thing through Google than the forum search.
If you don't want to be found on the internet you shouldn't put anything on the internet. This is what you always need to remember when you put anything on the internet.
