CMS Made Simple Forums

It seems that Google is no longer indexing the domain forum.cmsmadesimple.org. Anyone know if this is by design or by accident?

I used to be able to use Google to search the CMSMS forum with a URL something like this:
https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3A ... .org+print

Now, no matches are found:

Your search - site:forum.cmsmadesimple.org print - did not match any documents.

Searching with Bing, however, still works:
http://www.bing.com/search?q=site%3Afor ... .org+print

Well that explains why I don't get many forum results when searching for cmsmadesimple.org.

I get some results if I leave a space between site: and the URL:
site: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org + menu

But, the results show that the board has no forums, and in some cases that "you don't have permission to view..."

I don't see anything in the robots.txt stopping it

User-Agent: *

Disallow: /index.php?topic=25921.msg%msg_id%

Was wondering the same as I occasionally search, so now I just googled "site:forum.cmsmadesimple.org" with no other terms and it seems google is seeing the forum empty. Notice the up to date cache date but no forums in the screenshot

I also searched that string in google as well as bing. It doesn't show any result. When, If I removed the "Print" key phrase from given query, it shows following result

https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3A ... simple.org

In this case, Print word not found anywhere in search engine result.

I think this is by accident for forum.cmsmadesimple.org because I tried another some forum sites and it's works perfectly. see the following example. (Remove Spaces After site%3A and /forums/)

https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3A https://www.webhosting.uk.com/forums/ +print

Googlebot gets the forum displayed with no content.
Therefore it does not index any page.
Just try it by yourself und change the user-agent in your browser.


EDIT:

This affects almost all known search-bots (not only Google).
Only Bingbot, Baiduspider and Google-Web-Preview still get content displayed.

First, thanks to those sharing their comments and observations regarding this issue!

I wonder why this list of bots is permitted access and Google and the others are not. Who would know if there was a problem with the Google (and other) search-bots that caused someone to withhold forum content from them?

I try to search using google.com.my and I manage to search site:forum.cmsmadesimple.org

Indeed, it looks like someone may have fixed this! I just tried google.com again and this time some results were returned. It'll take a while to reindex the entire forum site. I try back in a while and mark this topic SOLVED, once everything looks like it is back in the index.

Thanks!

Some actions have been taken to fix the indexing by search engines.

Thanks for posting this issue!
