This is something that, from my perspective, happened near the time that the site
was down for a few days a couple of months ago...

Hmmm, that is a pretty restrictive robots.txt

Basically, it's a request made by this site for search indexing robots/crawlers (Google, or instance) to NOT search through the forum and index what it finds here.

The purpose of this thread is to hopefully find the answer to your question.

The admins did it on purpose for some reason?

It happened as a side effect of fixing whatever was wrong a month or so ago?

why does anyone searching the internet need to know that someone on the Valkyrieforum posted:

when someone does a search on google, the indexed sites find the searches faster,,say you want info on rear wheel bearing noise,,indexed sites will be the fastest ones to return the hit..

And the downside to bots is that they eat bandwidth - which is money.

Well, maybe someone just got a Valkyrie and is gonna google search "Valkyrie which oil to use" or "Honda Valkyrie Car Tire Okay" or "Valkyrie starter switch not working" etc, etc, etc.....

While admittedly the signal to noise ratio can get kinda outta hand here (And I'm no angel in this regard) this forum is still a treasure trove of valuable information if you know how to find the info you're looking for.

So does this mean that the NSA, Obama and Google are, or are not looking over our shoulders anymore?   Grin

No wonder I've been having issues when I try searching for something on these forums with google. I usually type "[search term] site:www.valkyrieforum.com" and this gives me what I am looking for right away. Been unable to do this for a while now.

YAHOO!

I finally talked to Scott... he was fighting bad robots when he configured the index-blocker...



The blocker has been removed, and we're indexed again!

Now you can google up your favorite oil or tire threads again  cooldude ...

OK so the important question  is ....

"Is T & A no longer proscribed on the VRCC boards?"

Haven't had a dose of that for awhile now...
