Why is Google no longer indexing the forum? E.g. search for "Karsthafen map" in Google, nothing. Search for "Stampy's lovely world", nothing. (For the second search, we used to be #4 in Google results under the old forum software.)
Is this intentional? Or did someone forget to disable a default robots.txt somewhere?
Google no longer indexing forum topics

I also noticed that issue and it should changed back if possible...
Re: Google no longer indexing forum topics
The DDG link seems to be from our old forum software. Note that "f=12" is missing. So apparently DDG simply hasn't indexed the forum since the software switch.
I can't find a "robots.txt" on the server, so I think there must be another exclusion rule somewhere.

Re: Google no longer indexing forum topics
It seems like bots aren't counted as guests, and bots didn't have permissions to read the forum.
I've given them the appropriate permissions.
