Saint, hide the sandbox site with robots.txt
« on: December 30, 2010, 10:23:06 pm »
Stuff from the forumsandbox site is showing up in Google.

You should hide the sandbox site with a custom robots.txt just for the sandbox...

The sooner you get on this, the better since it's almost impossible to remove stuff from Google once it's been crawled.
