Site doesn't show up on Google anymore

#1 Post by DopeFiend »

https://www.petshopboys-forum.com/
Pet Shop Boys Community, this site. Currently it doesn't come up in Google.

We used to be able to search 'pet shop boys forum' and see this within the first 3 results.
Now, we can't find it at all.

Just flagging this issue.

Yes, I recently used a computer that doesn't have the link to this forum saved. And I wasn't able to find it with Google.
I wonder what happened.

Looks like it wasn't available for Google over the last couple of weeks and they're removed the entry...
Let's see it it will show up again in the coming time.
Could be a result of 'all traffic now is going via cloudflare' also...

PS:

Have you (ALL) ever tried to use alternative search engines, as feeding the NSA with all your stuff...?

13 years after Edward Snowden, I slowly starting to think - all his doing was for nothing.
When will people stop using Apple, Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and all that NSA stuff...? W H E N ?

Fantastic to see it's back to coming up on Google. First result upon searching 'pet shop boys forum'.

Well I tend to use Incognito windows each time, so I'm not really sending them my cookies or metadata just my location and time of search enquiry.

I love when we get guests onto our forum. I remember once somebody came with a controversial opinion, accusing Neil Tennant of miming during live performances. It was pretty entertaining to witness the ensuing onslaught and responses.
So I'm glad our forum is now reachable to the public once again, even if new members are uncommon.
