Hi, is there a plugin or a way to ensure that my entire forum doesn't show up in search engines?

I have a private forum but the beginning of discussion threads are still showing up. I don't want that.

    don't ask for help if you are going to give backchat. You could have also googled it yourself and save yourself some time, since it not specific to this software.

    You can't expect people to do everything for you, like wipe your behind.

    Next time someone gives you a clue, go read up about it you might actually learn something.

    grep is your friend.
