First of all let me say that I have enjoyed being a member of this great forum and will continue to contribute as much as I can.
What concerns me lately is that we are making it too easy for the makers of the systems we share here to find us through the search engines. Only the other day I shared a system request only for the links to be deleted by the file sharing host the very same day. I did a search for the post subject and it was right there in the top 10 position in g**gle.
I would really suggest for people starting new posts to encrypt their subject headers in a way that it would be difficult for the vendors to find this forum. For example, suppose you have a system called "Holy Grail" to share, instead of actually calling it that you could call it "H0lly Gr@il" instead or something similar.
I know this could probably cause problems for members to search for the systems they are trying to find, but if we are not careful these vendors could blacklist these systems or worst case, make enough noise to the right people to close this forum down... I for one do not want this to happen.
Any other suggests will be greatly appreciated.
