Spider Board & Topic Access

Version: 1.0 Date 2008-12-5
Compatibility: SMF 1.1.7 , SMF 2.0 Beta 4

When this option is enabled,then the selected spiders are be able to browse the site and the others guests will be
redirected to the login page,when they try to enter a board or a topic.It makes sense,when somebody wants to restrict guest access of the site topics,
but it's not a good thing for the spiders,who brings hits & new members to our site.This little modification would let us to allow spiders to browse our site,when we don't want to let other guests to browse the site
