Hi vb.org
My question is,say I wanted to make a completely private forum.Like a VIP per say.
Can this be done?
I want it to be searchable by member's that I sign up,through the built in search,but unacessable to search engine's.
I want to block all the googlebots,yahoo all of them,dont want site indexed anywhere.
What I want basically is a board that is unseen by all other than allowed members that I sign up.
Can this be done and how?
Thanks in advance.

Admincp => Usergroup Permission => Forum Permissions

Thank You for your reply.
I understand how that works...anyway to stop the bots from coming to the site?
I dont want my site showing up when I search google.
I mean I dont want it to index anything,member profiles,threads,posts,anything.
Setting forum permission dont stop bots does it?

Hiding the forum from guest will also hide it from bots.
