How to block crawl bots without blocking users?

[kai_sey]

I need to block google & co from searching particular forums on my site, whilst still allowing access to guests & members.

I know this can be done via the robots.txt file - I'm just wondering what to put there.

Lets say the particular forum I want to block is: www.domain.com/forums/audi-versus-bmw/ (Note: I need to disallow all threads/posts in that particular forum).

So, is the following correct?

User-agent: *
Disallow: /forums/audi-versus-bmw/

Would the above disallow also include blocking of the actual threads & posts in that forum? Or would it only block the actual url www.domain.com/forums/audi-versus-bmw?

Thanks.
