A thotsbay.com thread is a page of text organised around a creator name, which search engines index well and rank highly. Delisting each thread page removes those results without needing the forum to act, and it is usually the change that stops people finding the material at all.
Left up, 60 exposed copies work out to an estimated $351 a month in diverted subscriptions. Estimate, not a measurement: it assumes 0.45 diverted subscribers per exposed post at an average subscription price of $12.99. Your number depends on your pricing and audience.

What happens to what you type: nothing. The domain is matched against openDMCA's routing table in your browser. No request is made to thotsbay.com, no page is fetched, and the text is not stored or sent anywhere.
Start from the search results, not the forum. Search your stage name and record which thotsbay.com URLs appear. The ranking pages are the ones causing harm, and a long thread may have only some of its pages indexed.
Treat each paginated page as its own URL. A thotsbay.com thread spanning many pages is many index entries. Filing on the first page leaves later pages ranking, and later pages usually hold the newest links.
Name the original work for each entry. A copyright delisting request pairs each URL with the location of the original. Where a thread reproduces a preview image, the original post containing that image is the location to give.
File with both indexes separately. Submit the thotsbay.com list to Google and to Bing. Forum content is indexed thoroughly by both, and filing with one leaves the other returning results for your name.
Verify by searching your own name again. The test is whether thotsbay.com still appears for your name, not whether a request was accepted. Re-run the name search rather than reading the request status.
Why delisting matters more than the notice on thotsbay.com
Most of the harm from a thotsbay.com thread is discovery: someone searching a stage name finds a page collecting everything ever posted about that creator. Delisting removes that discovery path directly and does not require the forum to answer anything.
openDMCA verifies delisting rather than assuming it. An hourly job re-checks whether a submitted URL is genuinely out of the index and records the answer, because a processed request and a removed result are different states and only one of them changes what a visitor sees.
openDMCA gives the first two hops away: you can open how a delisting request is put together and run it on a URL of your own, with no account and nothing uploaded.
One thing that catches people out on thotsbay.com
Forum threads accumulate rather than rotate, so a thotsbay.com thread indexed today usually contains posts spanning many months and ranks on the strength of that accumulated text. Delisting it removes a result built from a year of posts in one request, which makes it the highest-value single filing available on this surface — and the one most often skipped in favour of chasing the files.
Frequently asked questions
Does delisting close the thotsbay.com thread?
No. The thread stays online and reachable by direct link. What ends is its appearance in search results for your name, which is where nearly all of its traffic originates.
The thread keeps adding pages.
Each new page is a new URL and a new result, so it needs its own delisting entry. A request filed earlier does not extend to a page created afterwards.
Will the forum know I filed?
A delisting request goes to the search engine rather than to thotsbay.com. The forum is not notified by the request itself, although a notice sent to the host or registrar is a separate matter.
