That would be Cloaking and will get your site removed from Se's if they spot it.

no i don't think that

it's already in ipb and all sites using it are still in google and other search engines

Marco is correct. Here are Google's guidelines. (http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=35769)
Don't use cloaking or sneaky redirects.

Then how does IPB get their content listed in google searches, yet you have to register to view content.

You can do it - but Google does not like you for doing it. You can report the site and Google will look at it and take action if necessary.
