Yea its pretty crazy how any keyword you type in about yourself it usually comes up with the trap 17 results. Although i must of got lucky or something because my website comes up before trap 17 does, for most keywords anyways.

Yea i dont really think that the information is a real big issue, i guess the only thing i would be worried about is having my email address leaked out into the public but i already recieve alot of spam so it doesnt matter to me.

Guests are no longer allowed to browse application area. This will prevent future spiders to cache those files unless it registers itself with our forum...which spiders cannot do.

This will not prevent previously cached files, especially for Google, since cached page is controlled by Google and not by any other means.

Robots.txt only protects your directory structures and files within. It cannot block SQL database queires performed by a forum script.

You can remove any objectionable material from your application once it is approved like your email address and your name.

Thanks

I went & tracked the application down, but was unable to edit my information as it appears to have been locked.
