i suppose it might be due to my own browsing and visiting habits - but i use google search and whiskerwick is the third result for 'petz forum'. not to mention - i think the biggest thing going for RKC is that it's URL is literally petzforum; of course it would be the first thing to show up when you search those exact words! we do have 'petz' in our title text, so i'm not sure where else pinto and arie could add it to push it up in the results. it's also gonna depend on which search you use (some people still use yahoo, or... -shudders- bing). results will vary.
that being said, i like the forum being private. as lacey said, i really doubt there is going to be much in the way of theft as there was back in the day (due to a combination of less newbies, older players who know better, and a reasonably active but not insanely so community that can theoretically track down any thieves within a couple days).
but as someone who has had things stolen from me on forums for years (usually roleplay forums, nothing to do with petz), i'm hesitant to make things viewable to everyone. let alone post-able, please NEVER enable that, unless it's like on RKC where you have a heavily mod trafficked board just for guests. i like the privacy. also, as lacey said, there are parts of this forum i don't think are for anyone but our members.
