So I want to block my old Chatting Time forum as I no longer remember my login credentials so I can delete the forum, and create a forum is a pain in the butt to get a hold of and my registration is disallowed on their support forum. Is there anyway I can block this site on my Samsung galaxy a7 lite? I thought of having someone hack my forum to do it for me but that won't di any good if the forum is closed.
 
I am finding that there is an app called BlockSite on the Google Play store that allows you to block sites. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be a straightforward solution to blocking specific sites on Android. If the app solution doesn't work, the only solutions would involve configuring your router settings or a firewall, which seems like a lot of work for this particular use case.

Are you able to disable the forum through the ACP? That might be an easier approach. If you have access to template or theme files, you could also intentionally delete something critical like a bracket to prevent the site from loading properly.

I can't log in as I don't remember my details, and the support forum is a nutcase

I apologize; I missed that part in your original post.

Do you have access to the e-mail that you used to create the forum? If not, are there any other admins on the forum who might be able to do such a thing for you? If you have access to template files, you could even change the entire site to a message re-directing visitors to your new forum.

I'll message Gizmo as he was my administrator on the old Chatting Time and see if he can post a redirect
 
The only realistic option is to block it on DNS. Go to Private DNS and select Private DNS Provider Name. You can use a service like AdGuard for this.
