Hi Astroman, I've tried to google by myself, but searching "neverendingoem" only appears the page link (without any cache) and some other links but their cache was not the one so explanatory as the one you have found.

How did you get that cache? Have you searched something special? Or there's some functionalities/tools/coomands I don't know and wich I need to activate before the search?

Thanks

nothing special - I just opened the link above, browsed a few pages, found that soft4sale (as responsible company) name on the terms and condition page and entered it in google.
The results were pretty obvious, but the link with the 'confession' posted above produced an access error.
So I clicked 'cache' and got a copy of the (possibly password protected) page, some kind of forum or bbs.
I remember another case where the google cache effectively circumvented the privacy of a forum.
Depends on how the page is programmed - for example it does not work with subscription content from a local newspaper.

Not that I'm interested in unauthorized access to anything - I was just curious how far they (can) go. Google tries to index all and every content, even private webspace that's not intended to be published at all.
It's not always a good thing...

cheers, Tom

Russian sites do this a lot, its hard to get them all shut down and even when they are its dubious what sort of legal action is taken.
