*Attention*- Possible security breach by the Googles Webaccelerator if members use it
Quote from an Article
"I'm having to pay a coder just to figure out how to prevent Google from caching all the webpages on our forums. Why is this a problem? Well first of all, it's a giant security hole, as private forums for mods and admins can now be viewed by anybody. Thanks Google, thank you very much for sharing our sensitive information with the entire Internet, without even giving warning or notice to any parties involved! Secondly, our forums offer a private messaging feature, where users can send messages to each other which can only be read by them. It's like AIM or ICQ, but through a webpage. If you're using Google's Web Accelerator - guess what? - now anybody can read your private messages! Cookies, logins, sensitive information, private messages - they're all stored on Google's servers now, and they're all available for anybody on the Internet to read."

Google has instructions on their main site for how site Admin's can prevent google-spider access to restricted areas. http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html

According to what I've read,
Disallow /
does the trick.
