You can put up a /robots.txt and tell the spiders not to index your
site.  The major search engines should honor that.  Old entries
will eventually time out.  I guess you could contact the search
engine operators and ask them to accelerate this.

www.angelfire.com does not have a robots.txt.

You may have fallen victim to algorithms that try to identify search
engine spam.  To this human the page above looks very much like
that sort of garbage.
