    Forum members fearing for their privacy

    Seriously, people bother me sometimes. Moreso often than sometimes.

    I run a mainstream niche board which has picked up in pace quite a bit since its launch in September. Almost 900 members and 15k posts. Now there's a couple of members who complained that when you search on Google for their board nick, you can find all of their posts indexed in Google. They've voiced the wish that I block Google from the board or make the threads only accessible for members.

    Now what the fuck am I supposed to say to that? "You're all retards, stfu and welcome to teh interweb?" Fuckin idiots.

      Create a private subscription based forum section, where they can post without worry of a googlebot getting in.

        Put a note about privacy issues on signup page and offer to delete nicks if they do not want to be listed.

          How is showing your nickname an invasion of privacy. I thought nicknames were created to protect your privacy.

                Yah i'm sure he knows that, but nobody wants to ban google from their site

                that would be like saying you don't want SE traffic
