Hiya, I guess it happens because it is an open, public forum. If you google my username my threads come up too.

Some forums are closed and the text can only be seen by members.

If you google any thread on any forum anywhere in the world you will probabley find it on google or any other search engine.

If you put anything on an unencyrpted website its public property, simple as that really.

I really think (if it isnt a wind up ) that you actually owe the admin an apology for leaping down their throats just because you did not understand the way the internet and search engines work ?

One of the ways I find my back posts here is by Googling a key topic word and my user name. It's faster than the site Search function.

Everything here is in the public domian and can be read by anyone....so it's wise to think twice about what you post, if you feel you don't want everyone on the planet plus your nosey neighbours to be able to read it.

Hi Westy12, I am sure no-one meant anything seriously regarding you're query, sometimes us old PC users forget that many people are only just finding out just how intrusive googlebots can be, indeedany search engine. Sometimes a good thing but also some times not.

In you're position I would probably have done the same, and I am sure many others will agree with that too.

Happy posting!!!

Westy

Just think how many more people know about your pending van sale though now its on google etc lol Its like free advertising lol

I think its an important point to realise though as many people post very personal things on forums and get defensive ( sometimes abusive) when people point out that a public forum may not be the place for it. The reason is anyone can read it, some peoples user names are very close to their real names and a quick google could lead to threads on here that maybe they didnt want anyone outside of the ukcs 'family' to know about
