Well what you would do is make your forum not viewable by guests. You would do this by going to Manage Forum Permissions and unchecking guests. Save it, and then log off and then you will not see your boards or categories.

Google will still come and look at your forum, but they will only see what guests see, and that's just the main area with no boards or categories.

Hi. You can stop the major search engines from indexing or crawling your site by going into your admin panel, going to "SEO Settings" and then entering this piece of code in the "Misc. Meta Tags" field.

<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />
