XF 1.3 Robots and Guests

[isaiahv]

If I block guests from a forum, will Google robots still be able to find it and index it?

If content is not available to guests, Google won't be able to access it.

Thank you.

How come when I search google for topics for a forum like bhw, they show up, but when I click on the topic from google to read it, it says I need to register. How is this possible if the robots can't access the information?

That's generally considered to be cloaking and is liable to Google penalizing you.
