Just so everyone is aware... I googled "rickman divas" and the whole thread "Ask the Divas" appeared on Google!!! Shocked

Just thought you might want to be made aware...

I STILL haven't received my activation email. . . Sad

I keep checking, and checking my junk section as well, just in case it was thought to be spam, and nothing, grrrr. I will check again tommorow.

Hehe, google works quickly! If you look at the bottom of the forum page, it shows you who is there -registered, guests, hidden etc. The google bot is what identifies the site so when you search for it, you find it. Nothing to worry about (sometimes having a computer geek for a boyfriend has it's uses) Laughing

Skittle,

Did you go on and try it? I looked checked the admin space and I can't see where I'm supposed to give you access or anything? Try and see if you can get on and post. I think you might be able to... do you know, Nora??

That's from this board, just so everyone's aware... on the other site we locked the Real Life section so only members can access it.

hmmm, didn't realise our stuff came up on google quite like that.
I guess nothing is truly hidden or personal on the internet, is it?

I havn't really thought about this, I just assume that it's just us Divas reading the stuff on here, but of course it is not hidden from the rest of the internet.... I'm a bit slow sometimes when it comes to thinking... Very Happy

Privacy is not that easy around the net, is it.

I'm totally ok with that - first of all, who except for the divas would know that we call ourselves "divas", so who would google for "rickman divas"? Then, we don't use real names, or just first names. How many Jackies and Stephs and Maries are there? Many millions, I bet!
To really, really recognize someone on the web, you have to know what to look for. It's not that easy.
I've been looking for an old friend from school on the web for ages, under every nickname and variation of her name and nickname, in forums to topics she has always been interested in, to no avail. I decided she didn't have a computer.
Turned out that she was looking for me too. She found me easily because I have an official website at work, with my full name. When you enter my name into google, you find a lot of work-related stuff, a private profile on a German equivalent to facebook that can only be displayed by my friends, but nothing private.
My friend disguised herself on the web too by only using names no one in the real world knows, she never gives her real name or personal data, like the city she lives in. She's very active on the web, even in places I checked out, but not even I could identify her, although I've known her for 20 years. I even chatted with her brother once, and he still has no idea that it was me.
So personally, I wouldn't be too scared about it. Of course every post we make may pop up on Google, but you have to know what you're looking for, and you have to interpret the data correctly.

I'll be so sad if we lose this place, even though I love the new one. I wonder where Madam is! Maybe she went on holiday?

The forum was a bit slow yesterday, but so was the other informe forum I'm in. Other than that, I haven't noticed anything off. Question

Has there been an announcement that they're closing down? Shocked

I so hope not.
