Is there a way to force the bots to use the archive, im going to do some mods to the forumdisplay which is probably going to ruin seo, but if i could force bots to use the archive it will act as normal and will provide decent SEO.

Is this possible? Are there any problems in doing this?

I'm not sure if you can make them use the archive -- but you could certainly make them use a separate style that looks like the archive; for example I believe Zachery released a style that is rather... sparse, to say the least, lol.

But if i make them use a seperate style then the guests will see that too. I dont want that, unless there is a way to seperate guests and bots but i dont think there is, is there?

Take a look at this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=108070

It could easily be reworked so that instead of telling the forum that bots are members, it assigns them a specific style.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
