Using request policy I noticed that my forum sometimes tries to access googles font api and googles gadget manager
I dont want my site to have any connection with google so how do I prevent it form doing this?
What's the reason you don't want your forum to have any connection with Google? Sad

Because there is no reason for it to. How do I get rid of it?
For the fonts, they are on the <head> tag. You have to download the fonts used on your theme and store them on the server. http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2013/01/...with-css3/

All the google font api does is storing a large database of fonts to save your time downloading fonts etc.

Not sure about the gadget manager.

Thank you for that useful info.
I hope someone responds about the google gadget thing.
I have searched a bit about the gadgets and I guess it is a core feature but maybe I am wrong.

There's no Google gadget in MyBB by default, you're using some kind of plugin and you're the one who should know which. I only know there's a widget in Google SEO, which you can remove in its language file.
