I've been browsing e621 for a while (since before the MLP immigration), but I recently Googled it for the first time. Google describes e621 as "Your one stop shop for friendship is magic til you drop."

This seems a little misleading to me. People looking for assorted furry artwork will be turned away, and miss out on the site entirely; whereas people looking for MLP artwork will enter the site and, most likely, be horrified.

We should do something about this? Maybe?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, so feel free to redirect me if need be.

We're not even supposed to be findable on google. Lol.

Not? That's how I found this site in the first place. Proves that Google is much better than Yahoo.

You can't 'do anything about it'. Google does what Google wants.

That's true. Those bastards practically own the internet, it's damn near impossible to hide anything from them.

Unless you use Tor.

We're definitely supposed to be on Google, it's just that we removed pretty much every major part of the site out of Google's search results. That happened back in May as a response to artists' real names being indexed, and a couple of other critical problems that we just weren't in a position to resolve at the time. We've recently been discussing re-adding almost all areas of e621 into Google again, which will happen once Aurali has made a couple of necessary changes to the site first.

TOR hasn't been "safe" for a long time.

I see. I didn't know how Google got the descriptions; I thought that if it was a piece of the site that we should change it to say something else.

I stand corrected.

Yes, it comes directly from the site. For some stupid reason the description meta-tag for our bare pages (those without the navbar and all that) is set to that. We'll change it as soon as possible.

I'd really hate to see children directed to this site under false pretenses.

That would end badly for everyone.

Bah, it wouldn't be a problem if parents would just talk to their children about sex. And tentacles. And amputation fetishes. And anal vore. And shitting dick nipples. And 9/11 porn. And...well, you get the idea: Parents these days suck.

Curious.

I've noticed the description as well.

It's true. Even Wikipedia knows. Some dudes showed how to crack at least some bits of it a few years back, at an IEEE conference. Other attacks have been shown to be successful more recently. I'm pretty sure most of these come from research groups demonstrating it, rather than people actually attacking the network.

But it can be done.
