    Please note that both the front page and the forum component of this site are visible to search engines and therefore the public. If you post something here, it may be considered "previously published" by some other publications.

    On some of the other sites that I run, some members have expressed a desire to have a site of quality work that's visible to search engines, so here it is.

    so are the journals also open to search engines
    and thus maybe also considered to be published ?

    Everything here is visible to search engines, Silent. That's the difference between this site and the others I run.

    thankyuuu Jay

    that should make it clear for members that a journal is not a private workshop
    since the world wide web can peek in

    Indeed, at least here (and in most other places on the web). In fact, there are relatively few sites that are not indexable by Google because that sort of defeats some of the major advantages of the web.

    It appears that Open Arts Forum is also completely visible to search engines, correct?
