There is no explanation given on Google's Webmaster page regarding how long it will take for the Google Bots to stop indexing your board, but you can assume that it will take at least several weeks for it to end. If you go to Google's Webmaster Page, and you believe that it is urgent that Google Bot stop indexing your page, they give you an alternative to use. Google states that this process will only remove your site from their index file for 6 months. You will have to redo this process every 6 months to keep it excluded.
NOTE: Using this code does not block or end the Google Ads at the top of the forums. In order to have the ads removed, you must pay for the Ad Free Option that is available on the Excoboard Control Panel. It is a violation of Excoboards Terms of Service to remove or block the Google Ads without paying for that convenience.
The above explanation has been rewritten entirely to conform with a request by Peter.
