I've written to the supporting email address (forumlogr@gmail.com) but they haven't complied with my take down request so I've submitted a DMCA to goggle adsense because I see almost 7 million pages in google's index...

Good idea, I'll put in a DMCA complaint of my own if I find my threads in there.
