It's best left on otherwise Guests will have problems using the forum if they do not have cookies enabled.

Because search engine spiders do not have cookies it will mean that an SID number is added to the URL which can course issues with indexing the site.

However, Web Wiz Forums is clever enough to be able to spot most search engines, such as Google, Yahoo, MSN, Altavista, etc. and will automatically disable sessions for these seracj engines so the option is more of less obserlete now but left in for backward compatibility.
