Is this site searchable with Google?

This was arguably the biggest failing of the imdb forums. For instance, if I run the following google search:
site:moviechat.org "Yeah thats stupid"

Google should return the following result:
http://www.moviechat.org/movies/tt1293847/posts/58a110969fb0700b8a637758

But it doesn't. This might just be because it hasn't crawled/indexed this site yet, but jic it's because of some sort of restriction (eg. something like a robots.txt) that really needs to be removed.

That should hopefully prevent a lot of double posting of questions.

[EDIT 14th March] - I'm very pleased to see that this is now working :-)

Agreed, this site should be as highly-accessible to search engines as possible! If people find this site when they search for movies (or even questions about movies), the community will grow and we'll have an ideal IMDb replacement.

Clearly no. The message boards aren't even visible...which would send this site into an ultra stratosphere.
