| Enable function (Access: Allows the Group to access the forum) for visitors do not have access to the forum, but I wonder if there is a possibility of "Search Robot Google" search the forum without registering? |

Kind of defeats the purpose of having restricted access if everyone can google the posts.

| The objective is to make the google search the content of these posts and poles when they are accessed by Google users will have to register before doing so increase the amount of users on the forums. |

Google will cache everything it reads. People can just use the google cache without actually visiting the site. You already have the ability for people - and search bots - to read posts but they need to register to reply. Reading the posts often encourages people to register so they can reply. Restricting the ability to actually read posts is usually done because you don't want the general population to see them anywhere - including the google cache. Doesn't matter If my restricted forum is for private conversations or if it contains premium content. I don't want people viewing it through a google back door. -------------
