> [@Slacker](#): > > I never understood that. This messageboard is in no way private. Anyone can come by and read to their heart’s content. So they can’t search? So what?.. Just to clarify, I totally agree with you and SpaceDog; who’s recently made it kind of ‘his’ [cause](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=349852). But as recently as [last week](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7328221&postcount=50), Plynck voiced the same concerns that were quite prevalant during the one week window Google search was crawling the [archives and providing search hits](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=337284). ---

I am totally in favor of moving old threads to a read-only server. I am totally opposed to erasing them or otherwise putting them somewhere that we can’t get to at all. Anyone who doesn’t understand the difference is quite obviously of a species foreign to me. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/search-does-not-return-some-results/354589.md?page=1)
