Why is E indexed by Google?

[Al Terego]

I find it slightly disturbing that my posts on E are visible to the world at large.

Are you sure it's not just the stuff in the left hand column? That's what I thought was visible.

[Oreo]

It should only be the open forums that are visible to google.

[Al Terego]

Ah, I see.

But that leads to the question: Why are the RP request forums, which are definitely "adult" in nature, open?

[Oreo]

They are there so applicants can get an idea of the type of games played on E, but they cannot post there.

[Al Terego]

OK.

So the "safe" alternative would be to post the juicy details in the O/O thread and only link to them in the request?

[Oreo]

Absolutely. That's what I used to do. ; )

[Al Terego]

Thanks Oreo!

*noms* You are welcome. ;D
