LM not in google.com results?

Maybe there is some kind of spam strike against the site? A google.com/webmasters job for one of the admins?

Looks like it is time for you others also to switch using for example duckduckgo.com.

This happens in Startpage as well. I remember that a while ago, when I searched for GeekosDAW, LM was among the first results. Now LM does not show up anymore.

@raboof this is very serious!

Sadly, I can confirm. Even typing directly "Linux Musicians Forum" and even ' "LinuxMusicians" Forum ' does not lead to here.

Yup, there are "site issues", but it's not blacklisted.

The site says what the problem is. If that is all it should be a trivial and quick fix.

Google no likey incorrect server error codes. I guess viewtopic.php?p=137931#p137931 is partly the same issue.

Thanks for the ping!

It seems robots.txt was producing a 500 error, perhaps that was the cause. I have fixed that problem (fingers crossed I didn't break anything else ;) ).

Google Search Console doesn't currently show any problems, but I just enabled it, so it'll take a while to populate properly.
