Nappi Posted September 13, 2008 Well.. if search engines will still index it, what's the point in even making it "private"? People have had to register to post their albino snorlax requests (or whatever) this far too. Or has there been a serious problem with random people just adding you to their friend lists without "introducing" themselves in the forum first? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrestlevania Posted September 13, 2008 Do we really want to drive that kind of traffic to Thumbs anyway??? I think it's not unreasonable to say almost everyone who drops by for Pokemon friend codes are just drive-by posters, not interested in critical/bitchy Video game design discussion, who pretty much never come back again. I mean, FFS, will we be getting upset about turning away WoW gold spammers next?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nachimir Posted September 13, 2008 Plainly, we're only the second result because we didn't use exclamation marks for SEO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrestlevania Posted September 13, 2008 Personally, I think the description for the networking forum should simply read: "Stop playing with yourself!" Job done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThunderPeel2001 Posted September 14, 2008 lol. Also, I don't think I'm alone in enjoying our Pokemon Friend status on Google. As long as it only stays in that one thread. You can, of course, tell Google et al not to view certain URLs, so this could remain a private forum if we really want it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
