There is a significant amount of information on the web pointing to theswamp as a resource for AutoCAD users and it is evidenced by the number of members we currently have. In a few short years we have gained many insightful and well rounded people ... and a few whack jobs too ... the point is, the kind of people we want here will continue to come here and this will provide sustainable membership.
Indexing theswamp will do more harm than good due to the number of people who will do a search, find the resource, grab it without any regard to the community we have created here.
I have already found code that I posted here (and only here) on indexed sites in China, Russia, Brazil, France, Italy and others. Not that I don't want others to be able to use the code ... if that were the case, I would not have posted it. Indexing theswamp will increase the number of people who come here, grab content, and then go post it on their "home" forum thus while increasing membership it will likely lower the overall quality of the membership.
If you want to index theswamp, then index only a landing page, just to put theswamp into the system. People will find it and those with enough interest will register and likely will become a valuable member.
Oh, have I ever mentioned that while communism is a wonderful ideology, it will never work in large numbers due to differing opinions. Benevolent dictatorship is probably a better form of governance.
