What matters is to avoid Google. If it's not on Google, then it pretty much doesn't exist for present purposes.
Another thing to do would be not to require registration to read the board, but, for anyone who does not sign in with a user name, to require them to type in a random number/letter sequence to gain access. I imagine most of you have encountered them from time to time. They are often required, for example, before you can leave a comment on a blog.
But the main virtue of that, once again, is it ensures a protective wall between the board and Google.
Eratosphere itself should be available in Google, but there's simply no reason that the text of any poem published in the Deep End should readily searchable by any of the billions of people who use Google (let alone by the huge number of editors who would, as a result, not consider the work for print publication).
