2 things:

1) Cloaking on a forum is, IMHO, necessary. You don't want your unregistered users seeing all the same 'bumph' as the registered users so you show them slightly different content. This, by definition, is cloaking - but it's a necessary evil and also serves to increase keyword relevance on your page

2) Question - How can I implement mod_rewrite on an active phpBB forum (that is spidered fairly well) without duplicate content? Is there any way to serve the bots a 301 when they hit the old style index.php?t=x type pages?
