A long long time ago, I created a homepage on a free service named [rotfl.com](http://rotfl.com):  
[http://members.rotfl.com](http://members.rotfl.com)

When I got more space on Earthlink, I turned my rotfl website into a forward page to my Earthlink web page.

A long time ago I dumped Earthlink for a cable modem. So the forward page goes absolutely nowhere.  
I tried to get logged into rotfl to delete the file, and it does not permit me to enter via member services. The website states

> [@](#):

> ROTFL Online is presently not accepting new accounts due to the system is being redesigned, please check back in the future for signing up new accounts.  
> Feb 19, 2000 - Our SCSI Drive that stores email has become damaged and is under repair, until this can be fixed members area & email are not functioning =(.

Even through their SCSI has been down for a year, it doesn’t prevent the webpage from coming up.

I have tried faxing and writing the people at ROTFL with no response. Is there any method I can take in forcing them to remove this information from their website? Or is it destined to be there forever?
