    I discovered this by accident. I'm a member on a forum called Windowssecrets. My user name is holdum333.
    If I Goggle my user name, it will show 14 pages of all my posts I made on that forum. No other user name on that forum will show all their posts. What's going on. I asked that question on the forum and they deleted my thread. When I sent staff a PM asking about this, they gave me a week ban. When I asked why the ban, they added a month ban. My question is if you Google holdum333, do you get the same results I get. I get about 8 posts that are related to boardreader and at the bottom if I click on extend without the filter I get 14 more pages of all my posts on the help forum. Is that not strange??
    Do you get the same thing if you Goggle holdum333.
    Here's what I get!

    Thanks Kenny! Why are only holdum333 posts shown when Googled. Do you get the same results I get when you Google holdum333 ?
    Thanks for your reply!

    It could be a number reasons for one is your user name is unique with Numbers as well. I would not worry about it at all.

    Not worried! I find it interesting and a bit flattering. I brag about it to my friends!
    Out of all the members on that forum, boardreader picks me because my user name is unique??
    Why did that forum get so upset? Maybe because I bragged about it on a thread and then asked about the thread getting deleted.
    Oh well. It's amazing how many help forum user names show up on Google. That's not good for me some times!

    Actually the forum has no control on a open forum what Google picks up... Google uses Googlebot it's a crawler to get page's content from the Internet.

    Yes sir I kind a understand what your saying. I'm just wandering why Windowssecret got so upset when I created a thread and mentioned Google picking up all my posts and when I sent a PM to staff, I got ban hammered for a month. That's the part I don't understand! I do get a few hits when I Google donetao, but not nearly that many as holdum333. I'm thinking that help forums Google my name and see I was banned before and when I step out of bounds just a little, they lower the ban hammer on me.
    What do you think. Thanks for your reply sir!
