Turns out I had some sitemap issues, SEO issues and some issues with the https changeover that google absolutely did not like. It looks like google wasn't crawling the site or at least not crawling and indexing the site like it should have been for who knows how long. I think thats all fixed now and I think google is indexing correctly again. Will this increase our users online? I have no idea, lol. But at least the site should be a bit more visible with google now.. at least until google gives me another email about errors again.
As of now from over the last 5 months our best search term that gives us results is:
"one punch man english dub"
The lowest search terms that somehow loads one of our pages:
"utz cheddar cheese balls"

@slippers ROTFLMAO!
Thats horrible. I think it must have been at least 6 months to a year ago when the google issues must have started happening. Even the sitemap on the google console had "0 indexed pages" When I update everything it now has over 9,000 pages. wtf. x_x Our search results definitely turned to crap a couple years back too when I changed it from forum.ancientclan.com to ancientclan.com/forums. That completely screwed up all the urls google had. But I had to make that change for the https to be way easier. oh well. I guess we'll see if this helps any.
@Strider Hiryu thats interesting. at one point people could google ancient big wheel and it'd bring up an old topic about Big Wheel cologne. *checks for the smilie* there it is..

I just did a cursory search not using any keywords so I'm sure more would show up if I actually got all "old school AC" with my keywords. Used to be that searching Ancient Clan was enough to bring up the forums but as you pointed out changing the URL probably fucked with all that. No wonder we haven't seen any new blood is so long, Google's been screwing us over. Damn you Google.
Ah good old
