Archive Limited Access

[koon]

I used the search button but couldn't find anything that did this yet. I know google and other search engines spider the forum archive, but some of the content that it spiders is only suppose to be visible to those who are registered. Basically anyone can access the archive.

Is there a way to have guests not have access to the archive but have it still spidered by google? So if anyone finds a link to the archive from google, when they click the link it doesn't actually let them see the content and just redirects them to forum home(or anywhere I choose).

The archive works on the same permissions that you forum does just for a fyi
