No spiders in forum <X> - xexes255 - 2012-03-17
I have a staff forum that is only visible to staff.
Will spiders be reading, indexing, and archiving this particular forum for their search engines? If so, is there a plugin or modification I can make to prevent this?
Sorry, I'm really not sure where this goes as I'm not sure what's available and what's not.

You can exclude the groups "unregistered" or "bot" (if you have that) from forum access, that should be enough.
