    Question?

    If you search for one of our usernames online, it brings up entries and references to the forums here. Is this not a bad thing?! I know it's not like a closed journal or private members only, but should individual entries be accessible to anyone who searches?

    Just a thought... :rolleyes:

    to my knowledge there's no real way to prevent that...

    Yes as far as I know, that's how it works on any public forum. No way to prevent that apart from blocking google and other search engines completely...

    I doubt the LAPD will be logging on here to see what you've written ;).

    The whole forum is search by search engines/bots; usernames, posts, thread titles etc. Nothing to be afraid of.....or is there? :)
