If I make guests unable to see posts/threads but the forum itself, will google and other SEs still be able to and index/link to those pages? Thanks

No. Bots use the Guest Permissions.

Thanks. Is there a way to change this?
ACP -> Configuration -> Spiders / Bots - [bot] -> User Group
Thank you, can't believe I never noticed that!
Please be aware that if Bots and Spiders can see a page, they may give guests a cached version of it.
