I want to delete a Proboards account I made?

I want to delete a Proboards account I made?
So, back in 2012, I made my own Proboards account and posted some embarrassing things there. It can be accessed by Google search, and I really dislike that.

However- here's some problems, the email that account is linked to is hacked. And I made this email back in 2009, so the recovery information (like what my interests were, names I might've added), I probably wouldn't remember anymore. So essentially I'm permanently locked out of this account. I asked my friend to assist me with this, but she told me she wasn't moderator, despite the two of us being the only members on this particular forum. I've tried some of the HTML methods that Google Webmaster provides, but I can never seem to get my site verified.

Maybe I'm typing it incorrectly, but I can't seem to figure out my mistake. I've even tried some of Google's other services, but those require either money, your phone number, or the name of your business. I can't provide any of those since I'm just a teenager. I've also tried sites like "justdelete.me", but Proboards isn't one of the sites listed there. I've also reported the site for abuse on ProBoards itself. I did get an email from them once, but it looks like it was sent by a robot. They suggested I could remove the site by myself (which I CAN'T do, since I'm locked out of that account for good). I then replied to the robot, and they said that my account wasn't against their rules. I tried reporting it again, but still no reply.

Please don't give any suggestions that may require administrator accounts, or downloading things-- I'm not an administrator and I don't want my dad to know about this issue, since the things I posted there were really embarrassing and explicit.

If you'd like to remove it yourself, feel free to do it--- here's the link: http://funkpopper.proboards.com/

Hi Funkpopper,

Unfortunately if you forgot the password to your admin account and you no longer have access to the email account that you used when registering the forum, I'm afraid there's not much you can do apart from report the hacking of your email account to the email provider to try and retrieve access to that email account again. From there, you would be able to reset the password for the account and could then remove it.

With the above said though, when logging in be sure you are using admin as the username along with your password on the login page. Just wanted to give you this reminder as sometimes when people have been away for a while they may try to login with their display name which wouldn't be correct.
