Well it doesn't much matter to me since I'm not in the tags........:laugh:

But I will go along with the crowd---back to the Outside we should go.

And afternoon all. :)

That's not quite how it works JJ2. Google doesn't care too much about the ECF tags.

All of the major search engines deploy thousands of indexing bots. Think of them as automated browsers. The job of these bots is to retrieve each and every page on all sites that are not username/password protected. In the case of Google, these pages are cached and indexed. So, posts on the outside require an ECF username and password to access, and the bot is thwarted. However, now that this thread is in the lounge, where Guest Access is allowed, they have already been indexed and cached. :(

Maybe the smarter move would be for ECF management to require an ECF membership to access both the Lounge and the Outside. This would make the search engine results more relevant to e-cigs, because they would not be skewed with all of this miscellaneous chit-chat. Unfortunately, once we have been indexed by google, those posts are out there in cached form for anyone that wants to view them. I don't know how long they will be cached. But they will lose "relevance" in searches as they get older.

OK, now I have a better understanding of why it was moved. :( If I had the choice of it remaining here, or moving to the outside and losing a treasured friends participation. I would MUCH rather it stayed here in the Lounge.

However, making the lounge a non-guest area (requiring ECF username/password) makes even more sense from a management and operations perspective!

I'll put this in the todo list area. I'm pretty sure Angus will be ok with it.

if you know what I know and if you don't care being in the Lounge we have a reason to be here
