Google and private forums - 12/30/2003 5:37 AM
I have a private forum that can be seen only by admins and mods to deal with board issues. Is it possible for Google or any other search engine to search and cache the private forum for the public to see? One of my admins noticed it in a Google search, and I can't replicate his results. We have private info in the forum that needs to remain private.
Is there any documentation of this happening before? Or could my admin have tricked or fooled himself somehow?
I'd really hate to have to put a "no search" tag on the website. We are just starting to see some increased traffic from search results.
