FAQ Pages are coded *NOT* to be indexed by Google!

What's curious and even head scratching puzzling is that every FAQ page topic has a meta tag in it directing search robots to "follow,noindex,noarchive".

This explains why Google searches within Brickboard and outside of Brickboard *don't* return FAQ pages in queries. Maybe at one time this made sense, but I can't think of a good reason for it now. Especially, since Google ads are being placed on the pages.

If this tag was removed, the Google searches would show the FAQ pages in the results. As of now we can only find *forum threads* regarding any given topic. Essentially he FAQ pages, arguably the greatest resource on BB, is hidden from being searched!
