  • IMPORTANT NOTE:
  • Fark user profiles have a meta tag on the page to tell search engines to NOT
  • index them. But to read the meta tag, the engines have to be able to crawl
  • the page. A disallow means "don't crawl", NOT "don't index" -- if some other
  • site has a link to a URL we have in our disallow list, search engines may
  • still index it anyway. So, counterintuitively, the reason we allow
  • Googlebot to crawl user profiles is so that they WON'T index them.
  • Our intent is that Fark.com user profiles NOT appear in search engines.
  • (So all you SEO spammers are wasting your time -- not that you'll ever read this)
  • This is the same reason we allow /go and /goto through here, as well as
  • /api and /ajax. We block all these from indexing with either the meta tag
  • or the X-Robots-Tag header.
