Hey guys, just reactivated. Glad to be back. I have a question though, Is there anyway to keep my profile private from the public outside this site?


I am hoping there is a way where when my screenname is googled or whatever that nothing pops up. Id just rather some people..

(like my disgusting ex) not to be able to search my username.


Thank you.

I'm afraid that is not possible. That holds true also, for bigger social networking sites, like myspace, facebook, etc.. Google powers a good bit of those sites, and it continually crawls the web, gathering information. I know that isn't what you wanted to hear, but the reality of it is.. If you post on any public forum board, or comment on public postings, including yahoo news, you tube, or similar sites.. odds are that you will show up in any search. That's just the nature of the internet.
