Wierd Moodle Mirrors

Wierd Moodle Mirrors

I just did a Google search on a Moodle topic that returned some strange results.

I read Ian Usher's post about his new Moodle site but couldn't see a link (there's one now, so either he edited or I'm going crazy).

So I searched on Google hoping to find his site with the following terms: "ian usher moodle"

The results include what appear to be two complete mirrors of the Moodle.org site, that simply redirect you to the respective Moodle.org page.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?

Investigating further it appears that the public access introductory Moodle course at the Melburne University links to the Moodle Community forum as a resource. And the last time the Google spider visited their site it grabbed the front page of Moodle as if it was part of theirs.


Perhaps the same thing happened at naver.com, it is again an outdated snapshot of the front page that has been captured.

David,

You're not crazy, I edited 30 secs (or thereabouts) after I initially posted without a link.... but you're right, that stuff is v weird.

Ian.
