The site was originally secondary to our business and was built by a contractor. It was secondary to our business and we didn't pay much attention until we actually added the episode pages and the bots discovered them.

I saw a lot of disparaging comments here. It's definitely our fault for not understanding the implications of what the code was doing. We didn't mention the contractor in the post, because we didn't want to throw them under the bus. The accountability is all ours.
