Removing a Quest game from IFDB

I am working on a game for IFComp. In the beginning, I accidentally made it public. Within a week, I went in and made it private again. But I had a thought just now...

If I search online, it turns out the game has already been mirrored onto IFDB. Even though the game is now private on Quest, the link from IFDB exists and is still pointing to my now private game.

Is there a way to delete it from IFDB? The only other thought I had is to null out that game entry with a dummy game and then make a new one. I think I'll do that for now. I'd just hate to have my entry rejected later as the game is already "published".

(With my luck, that one mistake will come back to haunt me later.)

I have dummy'd the game out. If there's a way to remove the IFDB listing, I'd appreciate that as well.

Looks like I should be able to delete the page if I log in to IFDB as textadventures.co.uk robot. Email me the page and I'll delete it - when I searched the only one I could see was "Take a Break (Demo)" though?

Ah wait no I've found it now. 'tis gone.

Thanks, Alex! I'm going to remove that page entirely now.

Edit: Well I can't. But should be good enough. Thanks again.
