Google...............

Dont know if this thread has been done before but I have just found something out I thought I would share. Did you know that if you google your Swinger Personal User name it brings you straight here, now we know that for anyone to find you they would need to know your user name first to Google it but if your user name is similar to an email address you have a little bit of creative thinking for someone would mean that you could be 'outed'. It isnt just limited to this site either I have Googled friends user names from another swinging site. Google first displays a couple of hits but it will then allow you to search for omitted results and will then show all your posts on the forum. Worrying thought? ...........Damned right it is I have just used the first part of my email account without the company name on the end and Google produced nothing. As my email is free I would have expected it to hit on there. As a paid account we would have expected some level of privacy, if anyone knows if there is anything that can be done to protect user names from a Google hit please let me know
