How to Remove Your Content from SimpCity
SimpCity is a forum where users compile leak threads about individual creators, but the actual photos and videos usually live on external file hosts, with the forum serving only the links. That architecture is your advantage: the file hosts honor DMCA notices even though the forum does not. This guide takes down the content at the hosts, then removes the thread from search results.
Before you start
- The URL of every thread and post mentioning you on the forum.
- Every external file-host link inside those threads, this is where the content actually is.
- Proof of ownership, your original posts or files with dates.
- A dedicated email address, and a decision on whether an authorized agent files for you to keep your name off the notices.
Step 1: Document the threads and harvest every file link
Open each thread and record its URL, then copy every external link it contains, file lockers, image hosts, and archive links. Note which host each link points to and take dated screenshots of the thread. Threads get edited and links get replaced, so a thorough snapshot now saves repeat detective work later.
Step 2: Send DMCA notices to the file hosts
This is the step that works. Group your harvested links by host and send each host a DMCA notice through its published abuse or DMCA channel, mainstream file hosts maintain them and respond, because their safe-harbor protection depends on it. Include the direct file links and your proof of ownership. When the files die, the forum thread becomes an empty shell.
Step 3: Report the thread on the forum itself
Use the forum's own report function on each post, and send a notice to any DMCA contact posted on the current domain. Responses are rare, so treat this as record-building, your documentation of ignored notices supports every later escalation. Do not let this step delay the others.
Step 4: File with the forum's host and CDN
Identify the forum's infrastructure with WHOIS and urlscan.io. If a CDN such as Cloudflare fronts the site, file through its abuse process, which forwards complaints and can disclose the origin host; then notice that host directly. Forums like this have lost hosting before under accumulated complaints.
Step 5: Notify the registrar
Send the domain registrar a copy of your notice and the non-compliance record. The forum has used TLDs outside standard ICANN policy, so set expectations accordingly, file it and move on.
Step 6: De-index the thread from Google and Bing
Submit every thread and post URL to Google at reportcontent.google.com and to Bing via Microsoft's copyright infringement form. A leak thread that no longer appears when someone searches your name has lost most of its harm, even if the forum never touches it.
Step 7: Monitor for re-uploads
Watch the documented threads for fresh file links and run weekly searches on your name and aliases. Re-file against new links from your saved template, repeat rounds are normal and get quicker each time.
What happens after you file
File hosts typically remove content within days; search engines follow within about a week; the forum itself may never reply. The combined effect is what matters: dead links plus de-indexed threads equals content nobody can find. Keep all receipts for the next round.
Chasing dozens of file-host links thread by thread is exactly the grind takedown services exist for. Rulta specializes in creator leak removal, its agents file every host, forum, and search-engine notice under their own names and monitor threads for re-uploads so you do not have to keep looking at them.

Frequently asked questions
Does SimpCity respond to DMCA notices?
Historically it has ignored or slow-walked them. The effective strategy is removing the files from the external hosts the threads link to, then de-indexing the thread pages from search engines.
Why target file hosts instead of the forum?
The forum threads mostly contain links, not the media itself. The photos and videos sit on third-party file hosts that do honor DMCA notices. Once the files are gone, the thread is a page of dead links.
Can I get the forum's domain taken down through its registrar?
The forum has used TLDs that fall outside standard ICANN policies, which limits registrar escalation. That is another reason the file-host and de-indexing routes carry the weight.
Will the people posting my content see my details?
A DMCA notice includes the sender's name, and forum users sometimes repost notices. Filing through an authorized agent keeps your legal identity out of it.
The thread came back after my links died. What now?
Re-uploads are common. Keep your notice as a template, watch the thread, and re-file against the new file-host links as they appear, each round gets faster.
