I would think non users would be filtered out.

This helps with SEO and ensures the traffic here is properly measured. But of course I didn't want private content to index in search engines which is why they can only see the titles. If you do a Google search you'll see none of the topics in the private forums appearing in the results.
Hope that helps!

Even on their support site you see all of the bots that are currently logged in.
