Remove content that?s not live
If the page, site or image has already been removed from the site in question, it may still show up in Google?s search results if we have not crawled the page recently. While you wait for our search results to get updated, use this tool to request Google not to show the outdated content from the page.

I believe if the site is down Google will do a batch crawl once you submit the url and then will de-index the pages. I think you might have to do every single url though unless Google is smart enough to figure it all out. It will show the status of the update and for small requests usually it is done in 12-24 hours. This does work on someone else's site as well.
What I would do is if I were sure I wanted to leave Thumblogger and I did not think it would be back is submit urls in this way, wait for them to be verified removed, then wait another day or so and set them up on the new site. I'm not 100% sure it would be okay as I've never been in this exact same situation but I'd think it would be. Just verify the old results are removed.
If you wait in my experience it can take up to 90 days for it to disappear if you do nothing. Usually 30-60 days but it depends.
