Why are the forums hidden from Google?

If you Google something like "my headphones won't connect, moodeaudio forums", the top result is generally going to be another website. It's a bit annoying IMO because whether I'm searching a forum site or Reddit, I prefer to use Google, since built in search functions are generally inferior. 

Anyone know?

Uh, you do know Google search engine is not the only game in town, right?

Have you tried any of the leading (IMHO) alternatives such as DuckDuckGo, Brave, Microsoft Bing, Presearch? I just popped "my headphones won't connect, moodeaudio forum" into DuckDuckGo (the default setting in all my browsers) and got a reasonable set of answers, including a link to this thread.

Some of us are old enough to remember a time when Google didn't exist and AltaVista was the king of the Internet search world. We can even remember when the WorldWideWeb didn't exist and gopher was the answer to our prayers. Some of us are even old enough to...but now I'm sounding like my grandfather. Sigh.
