do you think it's possible to visit every forum in the internet?

wanna be the Columbus of the Internet do you?


but nope it couldn't... the various forums that are set not to appear on Google, have to have your IP white-listed to read, or simply dead forums that only exist because on of those old fashioned "easy to generate a Website for your Guild/Clan" sites like Guildportal never purged them..

then you have the fact new forums are been generated every day (many iof them will never see more than half a dozen topics)..


And lastly, you got Deep Web..



EDIT: you also have the occassional forum thats only acessible in certain countries..


sure there are ways to easily bypass these barriers, but not something the average user would know how to do properly (and safely)

Lets not forget "special invite forums". Fat chance you'd find and be invited to them all, so nope, you can't.

But would you want to stop and read some, one i know is page after page of advertising, another is just mindless gibberish, and you would need to flood your e-mail with so many joins, and join requests, would it be worth it and how would you ever know youve been to every single forum.

I bet it would be near impossible, because there is likely a new forum being made every second.
The speed of your internet would never be able to keep up with the rate of new forums being created.

And the amount of webpages that cannot be found by standard means is ~10,000 times larger than what you can find, so you will never get to visit any of those ones.

Probably not, but who's gonna stop you from trying it.
