Googlebot Hacks

Post by Winnow »

Just FYI as I've noticed Googlebot here in VV.

It's an easy hack for people to use it for access to the forums:

On the same topic, I've been finding VV threads pop up a lot more often when searching for things. While researching the Reclusa keyboard, I found my own thread via Google ranked pretty high up on the list. VV's getting a lot more exposure which can be good and bad : )

I'm fairly sure we don't allow the bots to index/spider the 'hidden' forums. I could be wrong, see if you can Google anything on VV under the NWS section - I believe that's restricted to registered/logged in users only.

if you were walking around and you came upon a tulip with tits, would you let it be for the rest of the world to enjoy.. or would you pick it and carry it off to a secluded area to motorboat them?
