Well we have users post long lists and specs in spoilers. Will the info in the spoilers be spidered/indexed by Google?

It depends on the method that's used to hide the text in spoilers. If it's the same way most people on MyBB use spoilers, then yes, it'll be indexed.

<?php
$plugins->add_hook("parse_message", "spoiler_run");
function spoiler_info()
{
	return array(
		"name"		=> "Advanced Spoiler",
		"description"	=> "Hides text specified in the [spoiler] tag - supporting multi spoiler",
		"website"		=> "http://www.kolombaru.com",
		"author"		=> "Novan AB",
		"authorsite"	=> "http://www.kolombaru.com",
		"version"		=> "1.0",
		"guid"		=> "8efda3a0c8e28e09ac43d44854083918",

	);
}
function spoiler_activate()
{
}
function spoiler_deactivate()
{
}
function spoiler_run($message)
{
	// Assign pattern and replace values.
	$pattern = array("#\[spoiler=(?:&quot;|\"|')?(.*?)[\"']?(?:&quot;|\"|')?\](.*?)\[\/spoiler\](\r\n?|\n?)#si", "#\[spoiler\](.*?)\[\/spoiler\](\r\n?|\n?)#si");

	$replace = array("<tag><div style=\"margin:20px; margin-top:5px\"><div class=\"smallfont\" style=\"margin-bottom:2px\"><b>Spoiler</b>: $1 <input type=\"button\" value=\"Show\" style=\"width:45px;font-size:10px;margin:0px;padding:0px;\" onClick=\"if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Hide'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Show'; }\"></div><div class=\"alt2\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 6px; border: 1px inset;\"><div style=\"display: none;\">$2</div></div></div></tag>", "<tag><div style=\"margin:20px; margin-top:5px\"><div class=\"smallfont\" style=\"margin-bottom:2px\"><strong>Spoiler : </strong> <input type=\"button\" value=\"Show\" style=\"width:60px;font-size:10px;margin:0px;padding:0px;\" onClick=\"if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Hide'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Show'; }\"></div><div class=\"trow2\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 6px; border: 1px inset; background:#eee;\"><div style=\"display: none;\">$1</div></div></div></tag>");

	while(preg_match($pattern[0], $message) or preg_match($pattern[1], $message))
	{
		$message = preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $message);
	}
	$find = array(
		"#<div class=\"spoiler_body\">(\r\n?|\n?)#",
		"#(\r\n?|\n?)</div>#"
	);

	$replace = array(
		"<div class=\"spoiler_body\">",
		"</div>"
	);
	$message = preg_replace($find, $replace, $message);
	return $message;
}
?>

So it will be indexed then. Correct?
