It's a difficult situation, if you close the forum to anyone but registered members then you won't get search traffic if people are looking for answers to specific questions. However it does block the bots.
They are crawling all over our messages digesting all the info they can with their filthy little robot hands.
I guess. I just don't understand, though. This doesn't happen on other forums, and don't bots go around other forums, indexing and doing whatever bots do?
