Daniel, thanks for stepping in. It's good to know Google is not prohibited from doing its indexing matters.
I've done a simple test by comparing a Google search result for "apache ignite stopping abruptly" across Pony Mail vs. Nabble archives: - We have 0 topics found on Pony Mail - https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Alists.apache.org+apache+ignite+stopping+abruptly&client=safari&rls=en&ei=e3ACYanuDo2VrwSt44kY&oq=site%3Alists.apache.org+apache+ignite+stopping+abruptly&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EANKBAhBGAFQ5oYFWOaGBWCYiwVoAXAAeACAASqIAU6SAQEymAEAoAECoAEBwAEB&sclient=gws-wiz&ved=0ahUKEwjpl9LG94fyAhWNyosKHa1xAgMQ4dUDCA0&uact=5 - And 10 topics on Nabble - https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aapache-ignite-users.70518.x6.nabble.com+apache+ignite+stopping+abruptly&client=safari&rls=en&ei=KXECYezNCdGJrwSygaKgCg&oq=site%3Aapache-ignite-users.70518.x6.nabble.com+apache+ignite+stopping+abruptly&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EANKBAhBGAFQkBtY8CNghihoAXAAeACAASqIAaYCkgEBOJgBAKABAcABAQ&sclient=gws-wiz&ved=0ahUKEwishsmZ-IfyAhXRxIsKHbKACKQQ4dUDCA0&uact=5 So, for some reason, Google didn't get to those 10 articles in our Pony Mail archives. It might be because Google robots just don't have enough time to walk through all 28+ million topics/pages or due to some settings on our side. At the same time, StackOverflow doesn't have this problem while it should have much more topics. - Denis On Wed, Jul 28, 2021 at 5:42 PM Daniel Gruno <humbed...@apache.org> wrote: > On 28/07/2021 16.17, Denis Magda wrote: > > Dave, > > > > Just to confirm, does it mean that we allow robots of Google and other > > search engines to index the archives?
