It would be nice if you could specify per forum whether or not a bot such as googlebot should index that particular forum.

Personally, I have a few such as Just Chit Chat that I would perfer just not burden the bots with. This would also reduce the bandwith used by search engine spiders.

You already can do that.

Create a usergroup (say, Search Engines), and give it permission masks to which forums you want it to see, and which forums it can read the topics of as well.

Edit: Also, for the search bot setup, have it user that new group that you created.

Job done.

Oh duh

Why didn't I think of that :">

Because with all the power, it's hard to remember how to do the simple things.. :)
