I not an expert but just read this article.
Keep in mind that even if the board owner deletes an image or text, there may still be "cached" versions of the page that remain visible indefinitely
Also, if you try to go the route of setting up things to bump this board down the Google list, keep in mind you'll have to find or create a site more popular than this one. You see the QB come up a lot in searches because it's very large and active. Smaller sites or those with a lot less traffic appear lower on the list.
The world lives online now. Just keep personal information (or surprises for other people) out of the mix and you'll be okay.
