Does google cache all subforums

[ali1988]

Hi guys,

Just wondering, from a privacy perspective, are all subforums cached/accessible by google or only particular ones? For example if someone searches for 'ali1988' on google, could this post come up?

BTW by cache I guess technically I mean crawl. As in, its indexed by the search engine.

Did you Google it to find out?
Yes, all forums except for L&R.

Soundmanred is correct. The Google bots see all of the sub-forums that any other anonymous viewer can see.

So MD is off too? Odd how this works, mindblowing IMO.

 

[ViRGE]

MD as in Mod Discussions? Yes, since non-registered users can't see that forum. Plus everything is private anyhow; the only people that can see any given thread are the creator and the mods.

Im on 1 VBB site where NOTHING CAN BE INDEXED BY GOOGLE because they have all message bases MEMBERS ONLY.. (Only the first base is available to the guest group (Admin notices (The best way)))

Lol you can find infraction messages for other members if you know how to search. Some of alkys are quite entertaining.

At one point there was an exploit that allowed access to mod forums. During this time Google did crawl that area. I imagine that exploit is fixed now though.

For example: http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...showthread.php?p=33984099+&cd=8&hl=en&ct=clnk

Well, that wasn't smart.

I don't think there is a rule about reading a google cash file. They would have to notify nonmembers of their ban by mail. Hardly seems worthwhile.
