Does anyone else think that this place is about to start getting a lot more traffic? A lot more memberships, a lot more features, and a lot more ignorant? Or is our backbone of ignorance fighting skill enough to challenge the unwashed masses of the world, which we have never before confronted? Or will Google’s access be shut off when the servers buckle under the load?
So we weren’t scanned by Google before? And now we’re getting more traffic because, as Google “assimilates” us (sorry) we turn up on more search results so more folks find us??
Do those “disallowed” mean it’s been shut off ? Or is it the blankness after ‘Disallow’ that means Google can scan the Dope ? I’m clueless about this . . .
Isn’t there going to be an Invasion of Zombie Threads? People will google something and land up in some old thread about pan frying gophers on a conveyor belt in the Marianas Trench, sign up and start posting to the old thread. I think a mass lock-off is in order
I just Googled for my nickname and found this thread. Google even displays that there were 10 posts and 6 authors when it came. It looks like it found it almost as soon as I posted it.
I just created a Google Custom Search Engine for the Dope. It only returns results from the boards. Here it is.
My very first, and only, question to Cecil (with his answer) is now number THREE on a Google search with the same topic! Amazing! Especially considering the question was asked in 1997!!!
Plus, I am kind of amazed that DMark (the German currency from after WWII until the conversion to Euro) turns up my name on Google on page 5!
