How About a SWC "Secure" Forum?

[SWCAdmin]

Ditto to SWJED's post.

Not "everything" on this site is indexed by, e.g., Google. The bots aren't members, so they can't get to the forums that you have to be signed in to see. That includes the Members Only parent forum and all its child forums. Similarly, those forums do not feed to the RSS feed or to the "new threads" section on our SWJ home page. Which is both a blessing and a curse.

We have restricted our site at the server level, not user permissions, from most known malicious bots. The site is open to the "good" ones like Googlebot, etc.

This sort of semi-non-public thing is often referred to as the darknet -- not really secure, but not generally open to just anyone.

While this is pseudo-privileged, it is NOT SIPR. Absolutely no classified.

FOUO is a handling instruction, not a classification, and is always a red-headed step child. There are plenty of darknet FOUO sites out there. We have no intention of being one. To keep it simple, no FOUO, either. Members only or otherwise.
