Here's a little experiment for you.
I am a regular on the Hyde Schools forum. Fornits used to appear prominently on the first page when I Googled "Joe Gauld" and "Ed Legg" (former headmasters of Hyde School). Recently, however, Fornits has stopped appearing altogether in their Google ratings. It is as if Joe Gauld and Ed Legg discovered a way to prevent those embarrassing Fornits links from appearing on Google. Only when I do an advanced Google search does Fornits appear on the first page of "Joe Gauld" and "Ed Legg" as before. Try it yourself.
Is this just my computer or is it a global problem? It seems there is a way to censure and suppress Fornits on Google, thereby rendering it completely ineffective in terms of bringing Hyde to the public's awareness.
Google has a proprietary page rank algorithm, that they are constantly tweaking. They change it to keep a step ahead of the web site folks that are gaming their sites to gain page rank.
There are acres of Russian CS majors that black box google on a full time basis. They ask deep questions like this:

I would guess that Hyde's web lackeys are savvy enough to game google.

I used to be offended by this site, because I was one of the LARGE NUMBER of people who got more out of Hyde than almost any other experience in my life.
I say large number giggling at how one of you will no doubt claim to speak for the majority to the contrary and how very few liked it....and use this board among other points of reference as your evidence.
Forgetting that happy people don't spend a lot of time writing posts on biased websites. And let's be clear, this whole website is not designed for good and bad comments, regardless of the lipservice paid. The home page and tenor of the entire site is about the "troubled teen industry".
That is, the site may as well be called "Haters-Stuck-In-The-Past-Unite".... I mean really, you all just hate and then pat each other on the back, giving special credit to the most outrageous accusations and conspiracy theories.
Watching the same folks year after year regurgitate the same crap, including wild and for the most part, unsubstantiated allegations....pretending to know stuff as fact....glossing over the real details and never looking within (this of course will hopefully get me a response from someone about me being brainwashed and using "hydespeak" -- which is what anyone who writes a pro-hyde comment on here gets, lol).
Anyway, I logged in today for my annual amusement and see the same folks spending a good part of their lives still looking as delusional and paranoid as ever.
Is there no even, no circumstances that you all don't see a conspiracy behind. Hey, here's an idea....maybe (just one of 500 possibilites) Hyde wants to be first in Google because statistically over 50% of searchers will only click on the first or second link to a search. Maybe they just want to do effective marketing the exact same way every other freakin company in the world wants to.
No for the scariest thought...what if they actually don't give a shit about you and this site? I'll bet that would probably raise even more issues of relevance and self-worth for you all...
Did you miss the comment about the HB1's in the mansion. That was your basic Jon Stewart sarcasm that was funny because its really the logical extension of your theorys. "Outfoxing Fornits". Yah, that's right. They have daily meetings on your latest posts and how to deal with this site.
Rumor has it that they are calling for all parents and students to actually avoid the internet all together because they realize soon this will be out of their control.
Please folks, many of you still need therapy. Personally, I don't mind logging in once a year to just shake my head and feel empathy for a family of origin (hyde-speak?) that leaves you all in such a state that you feel this is the best use of your energy.
Of course, its not about you....you just want to save the rest of the world from suffering the same fate. In this Fornits cult, obsession, paranoia and delusion go by the names courage and magnanimity.
Here's the real question -- what happens when you come to realize all this writing was only for you, because you are the only people who come here, and it was all one big personal catharsis that had no impact on Hyde and flies completely under their radar?
Maybe then you will have some peace anyway. Personally, I wish you had it now, not because I want to protect Hyde, but because I hate to watch suffering, especially when someone doesn't actually know they are suffering!
Feel free to respond. I know you will, though you might save time by cutting and pasting from the same comments repeated over and over here. I'll be sure to log in next year to respond!
