[fpc-pascal] FPC websites blocked

[Wayne Sherman]

I was doing some research via ChatGPT and asked the following:

"In relation to the conversation above, what is described here?:
https://wiki.freepascal.org/Release_engineering"

The response was not worth reading because ChatGPT could not access
the page.  Note this part of the response:

"One limitation: the wiki page itself was blocked by the site’s access
protection in this browsing session, so I could not read the full body
directly. My description is based on the search snippet, category
links, talk page, and related references."

The FPC wiki website is also blocked from archive.org.  Note the
latest capture for this page:
https://web.archive.org/web/20250909050155/https://wiki.freepascal.org/Release_engineering

Are these pages also blocked from Google search and other search
engines?  I am unable to check that but someone with write access to
the web server can check and monitor the status of Google's web
crawler indexes.  See here:

Question:
"What will the long term consequences be of blocking any of the Free
Pascal (fpc) websites (i.e. the main website, the forum, and the wiki)
from AI / LLM tools, archive.org, and web search engines? How will
users and potential new users of Free Pascal be affected? Summarize in
one paragraph."
