There is one problem, on google there isnt a like to the homepage seed.cspacezone.com . As the link bar on the left doesnt load unless you go to the homepage, people going on the site cant find the homepage. As one of the links says seed.cspacezone.com/indexsrc.htm they may think this is the homepage. Seeing as you cant get anywhere from this page, it may be a problem.

Also the really old forums have also been registered so people may think it is a small clan

Also the old forums are registered, but it seems like this one isnt.

I've been gone since forever.
It's like nostalgia randomly coming back...
How many times has it been now? Haha.
Also, if there was ever any confusion,
Sir Blackma does not mean Sir Blackman,
and I am WHITE. Just thought I'd clear
that up lol.

If he does start posting like before, Give him the ban-hammer like Maxi recommended and suggest that he cancel his subscription to "Internet Tough Guy" Magazine.

Google bots (and other bots from search engines) track clicks and scan webpages for keywords to use in searches. They have been here before, though with the upgrade you can see when they're scanning the site (usually enter with a user, since I hear that they track clicks and "follow" people to sites).

This isn't anything new, but it may have categorized us in more places. A Google bot is the reason you can find CurvedSpace by searching for "free Runescape avatars"... It found "free", "Runescape", and "avatars" on the same page and put them together.

Forums are great for this since so many topics are covered, and this is why forums always pop up when you search for something. Like if it scanned this post, it could even categorize this page as "track upgrade" (maybe for a racing game), "free CurvedSpace avatars", and "upgrade webpages".
