Hide Forum from Guests but Spiders
 
Hi.
How do I set the forums to be hidden from guests but allow spiders such as Google, Yahoo, etc to still view my forum? I am going to use Limited Guest Viewing for now since it does what I want but I want to block the forums intirely from guests and just have it viewable IF you register (which I KNOW how to do) but I want Google to still be able to see our site. thanks

You cannot.

Also, do a search on "cloaking". Google, and other search engines, frown on that and may ban your site from being listed.

If cloaking is bad why doesn't the mod Ted S made say a warning about this? =/

I have no idea as I know nothing about the mod.
