Creepy Crawlers on my personal info

Not a big deal but I prefer not to allow crawlers from the interwebz find more than they need. I have yet to really see all the different forums but the joining 40cal forum is the 1 that raised concerns. In theory someone could create a crawler to find anything containing @gmail.com, or other common email provider's domain and said crawler would find a nice list of address to sell to nasty spammers. At the very least something like this could be done: https://support.google.com/webmasters/a ... 3710?hl=en" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; However, the optimal and only 100% solution is to password protect that and any other forum which might contain email addresses or other potentially sensitive information. the Joining 40cal forum is not important for non-members to view, so if we could limit access to that forum to just admins that'd be great! I'd be happy to help, let me know! :geek:
