I've started using Bing (Microsoft's search engine) since Google seems more and more keen to trample ethics these days.

The point of this post is that if you search for 'candlekeep forums' using Bing you get the following as the top hit:

Why is this? Any ideas?

Death is Life
Love is Hate
Revenge is Forgiveness


Ken: You from the States?
Jimmy: Yeah. But don't hold it against me.
Ken: I'll try not to... Just try not to say anything too loud or crass.

I should add that the Top Hit for Google, using the same search term, is much more welcoming.

Interesting. I've encountered this difficulty with other websites.

I'll look into it.

It's most likely something to go with the way search engine spiders work. Forums, with their heavy reliance on interwoven scripts and databases, can turn out wonky, to say the least. If all else fails, see about contacting the search engine themselves.

One usually has far more to fear from the soft-spoken wizard with a blade and well-worn boots than from the boisterous one in the ivory tower.
