how long does it take to refresh itself, if ever? i posted an IM conversation on this board and had it deleted a few weeks ago, but it still shows up (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=com.microsoft%3Aen-us%3AIE-SearchBox&rlz=1I7GGLR&q=%22romantic+tale+of+speedo+boy%22&btnG=Search) on google and i'd like for it not to.

the short answer, a long time.

the long answer, might want to talk to Seth or TJ about blocking the google search spiders from the Random Posts board, thats what it really takes to get them to remove the cache,

*edit: I'll go through the process to force Google's bot to "see" that the page has been modified - that should take three to five days

alright, thanks.
