Make a new group for bots?? I believe what you're trying to do is called cloaking, giving Google access to things that guests can't see, if Google get wise to it they'll lower your rankings.

No that's not what I said, if you lock the forum to guests but let Google see it, you might do. It's giving Google a false impression of what guests can see.

The other problem is that if you let search engine spiders view your forum but not guests then people can just view the search engine cache to view the post any way. Personally if guests need to register to view forums then I just view it in cache and never visit that site again. If I go on a site which has plenty of great posts that I can view then I am likely to register.
