Good features are added, inappropriate ones are not, that's all there is to it. Detecting search engine requires extra code for EVERY SINGLE request made to the forum, that is highly ineffecient. Especially if the only result of this is that on member list you see 1 vs 50 for Google's spider.

whats wrong with an interface to robots.txt then?
that requires NO extra code for EVERY SINGLE request.
just have an option per forum and then per topic
something like 'allow search engine probes [x]'
robots.txt wipes out everything under it so if you turned it off on a forum you couldnt re-enable it on a per topic basis. but you could enable for a forum and then disable per topic.
sounds simple to me.
