If my understanding is correct. If "guests" can't see the forums.. search engines can't either.
Make your forums so that you must be logged in to see them.
I think that will do the trick.
As per prohibiting copy and paste... that's not possible.... I don't believe.
You can slow some people down a bit by disabling the right click on your site. It's not fool proof though. But I think this little jabascript code inserted into your header will do that:
code:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
// No rightclick script v.2.5
// (c) 1998 barts1000
// [email protected]
// Don't delete this header!
var message="The Right Click Feature has been disabled.";
// Message for the alert box
// Don't edit below!
function click(e) {
if (document.all) {
if (event.button == 2) {
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
if (document.layers) {
if (e.which == 3) {
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
}
if (document.layers) {
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
}
document.onmousedown=click;
// -->
</script>
