Can you lock down the forums to bots please.

One of the posts I put in private members chat (with a password to my books ftp for people in guild to use) is searchable from google...

Not a happy chappy right now folks..

Needless to say that password has now been changed.

No, as i said, if a google MY domain name I can see posts that I put in the Private forums from Google.

The problem is that Google (and probably other bots) can index/search the site.

I think its common for forums to allow the public area of their forums to be scanned by bots. Its the Private sections of the forums which are normally locked down to prevent more personal stuff escaping.

As long as Washproof can confirm the private area's are safe from bots, its best to keep your more personal links to the Private Sections rather than use the public area.

Hopefully you didnt get any issues with unauthorized users grabbing your stuff?

When I google genesisbbs.org the only thread I can see on google from this website is the one about your books, but cos thats in a public section there is not much I can do apart from delete or move that post.

No worries, have moved your post into its own thread in the private section.
