Why do we have to be logged in to see the news board?

Tor is acting like a faggot for me and I keep having to manually log in. I just want read the news dammit! Why is this forum of all forums top secret for normies?

Search engines penalize sites with copy+pasted content.

Can robots.txt be used to keep crawlers out of select forums?

We're all a little ashamed of A&H and we hide as much of it as possible.

I doubt the .onion site is being indexed.
Could it be switched until we get clearnet back?

This is a very bad idea. Indexed or not, A&N is quite different from the rest of the forum, and a slow drip of new members there is far better than simply opening the floodgates, imo. A lot of members already loathe the subforum and have wanted Null to nuke it for years now. Whether that's because they are faggots who can't stand hearing an opposing political opinion or they think a news board is antithetical to the overall aim of the site is really irrelevant. Just never click the link to the subforum if you simply like to laugh at the antics of internet idiots.
