Ted,

Are you aware of any crawlers that are not able to crawl because of your app?

If I have it set to 2 views, is this ok until it blocks them to register?

I also assume your app is a solution for someone who wants to go to a paid subscription system but doesn't want to make forums private because crawlers can't crawl them?

Google has generally been ok with this approach on sites provided that people can see the content at times. For example, many news sites show Google the full article and paid members. This isn't 'tricking' google as the content is really there for people, you just have to be logged in.

As I say in the main thread, I do NOT suggest setting this to 1 or 0 views.
