Tweak Please allow ignboards.com to once again be indexed by Google so that people can discover the site organically

Sometime within the last couple of weeks/months it is now impossible to find any forum posts via Google Search, which was not previously the case. This was a major way this website used to be discoverable (IGN Boards is not prominent on the IGN front page) and is detrimental to the health of the community.

This should be possible to follow up on.

Thanks.

I agree

I agree. This used to be a popular forum and people still like talking about many different topics that are of video games, movies, TV and other things. Having it on Google would allow more people come to the site and increase traffic.

 

[Der_Jaeger]

Yes

 

[RPG]

I disagree, I want us to go full deep web mode where we are a secret link given out by indie devs to fans to get access to their upcoming projects and stuff

 

[Goldeneye005]

Google is censoring more these days. I noticed it while looking for cannabis stores. They won't auto-fill your search on certain subjects. You have to type in the complete name. Maybe they consider these forums toxic.

No it was most likely a deliberate choice by Ziff

Also bring back boards.ign.com. Unnecessary change.

No, this way is better, no new**** in the vale-tudo.
