I see that it has option to force guests to read a thread which means that non-logged in visitors will also be forced to read a thread before they can do anything else. So I was wondering if you know enabling this feature would have any negative effects on forum's Google SEO? As this might not let Google bots to visit the pages it wants to index them, rank them etc. Any idea about this?

It has option to disable for guests....
