Google is indexing spam pages from my site. What is the most effective way to get ride of the search results? Pages are deleted now but should I do something more?

A long time ago I created a forum (Invision Power Board) and it got full of spam. Massive amounts!

/forum/

I've now deleted the forum but the spam pages are still indexed on Google.

Can I do something else to hurry up the process to get ride of them?

Make sure /forum/ is excluded in your robots.txt file then go to Google Webmaster Tools and request a URL removal. You can request the entire directory be removed. Here's a page from their help files about the tool. http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=164734
