Hi 
It’s showing as deleted:
dickonridesagain.proboards.com/ 

If the content has been removed, and still shows up in a google search, this indicates the content (snapshot of the page) has been cached. If content was deleted from a site but still shows up in Google search results, the page description or cache might be outdated.

This is what I am seeing on Google. Is there any way to fix this to make this be deleted as well?

For clarity: ProBoards has zero control about what Google returns as search results.

While your forum was active, Google indexing bots happened upon your forum, and indexed it for Google's search engine. Now that the forum is gone, Google — not PB — will need to re-crawl your forum with indexing bots for their search results to update with the fact that the site is gone. There is no way for you, or PB to force Google to crawl the URL again. Just have patience, and accept there is nothing you can do to accelerate the process.

You can try clicking on the 3 dots next to the URL. Then click on "remove result." Then click on, "It's outdated." Then, you wait.

Even then though, the search result may still appear for a while, but just with a different preview.

Locked, because the thread starter  has deleted their posts and account.
