Something may be up with the robots.txt permissions for the forum, because I can't search anything more recent than a month old using any search engine. The robots.txt sitemap file
http://cdn.attracta.com/sitemap/1063702.xml.gz seems to be empty. Can someone take a look? It would be nice to be able to use search engines to look up content.

Just that I'm acknowledging that I've seen this, and that I'll get to it sometime when I can.
Note that the forum itself has a pretty decent search function if you need it. Would be nice for it to show up in google, but it's kind of low on my priority list right now.

Robots.txt now has content (albeit from 2015) (
Here) and the google bot logged in, and I confirmed it did a re-indexing and cached a recent version of the forum. QTR #26's content now appears on google too if you search.
