1- What's the point of opening your threads to SE spiders when they cant address vb threads (if you dont use a special hack). SE dont register vb pages since they are dynamic.

I hate to disagree with you, but my forum is HEAVILY indexed on google and a few others. I get a lot of traffic from search engines directly to my forums.

2- What's the point of registering your "private" threads to search engines when you dont want them accessed by non members? If you register them, everybody will be able to visit them via search engine link..

I want the threads to be listed, but I don't want non-members reading them. I guess my logic is that I will get more subscribers this way.
