HubblyBubbly613 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 This isn't specifically a problem by our forum hookahforum.com, it exsists now I see from other forums. I typed in my username to a search engine and got to this forum with messages I'd written in, or to other forums. I typed in a few other members usernames and they came up too. How does this happen? I'll bet I missed the boat and it is an old story. A long time ago I resigned myself to the fact that anything I write or view will be shown or could be. In that case its no secret, I love Al-Fakher shisha and don't care who knows it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I've always been kind of paranoid about leaving my tracks all over the internet. Knowing that every time I sign up somewhere, my info is logged. Every time I search on Google or Yahoo my search is attached and logged with my IP. Search engines have software called "spiders" that "crawl" the entire internet looking for new or updated content. That's how posts here end up on Google, and that's part of why we get so many new members.From what I can see in the statistics on my site people are searching for Starbuzz, Nakhla and Tangiers a lot lately. People mispell their searches like crazy too (Nakalah). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Welcome to the global internet. I guess the forum is on enough lists that its part of their searches... Wait until you find your real name, address, and phone number on some directory site like I did a while back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
