I was just wondering if it was possible to stumble upon a post/thread in PC using a search engine like Google.
I've noticed that most message boards are in fact searchable through Google. And since I and many other folks here post some pretty personal stuff, I was a little concerned that someone might accidentally stumble upon our posts. Mind you, I try to stay as anonymous as possible, but of course one can only do so much. I'm not sure if there are ways to block out the search engines...so, well, I thought I would ask.

The old PC message board did not show up on google. I tried searching for PC posts on google a number of times using very specific phrases that should have shown up if it was included in google searches.
But I don't know if the new/current board has the same protections.

If you search for 'Psych Central' and your name, there will be hits. For me there are three hits... two are to posts I wrote, and one is a mention in a newsletter.
I thought the forums were not to be searchable by google? Who knows what may be revealed through other ppl's posts  Often members post sensitive information here, it should not be googlable at all

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
