But I also think the main issue would be that people might be turned off if they had to register even to look around. Especially since registration here can be a hassle. While at the same time, if someone really wanted to be nosy, nothing would stop them.
But I still think a non-Googleable board might be interesting. Would a board like that need to be restricted to registered members, too? Just keeping Google out would be easier...
