well, like I said, if you are posting information that you don't want the public ( google) to know about, then you should not be posting them in an open/public forum/blog. That is just silly.
also, if the email bot is a serious one. then the image will not keep it from getting the email address. the serious "harvester" type bots can read images using OCR technology.
( not trying to be argumentative here, just discussing/debating. )
by the way, most of the forums here on this board are indexed by google on a regular basis. Lynn wants that of course.
so, if you do not want what you post to be seen by google and the rest of the world, then don't post it here.
see my point?
phpBB, and most other bulletin board software, allows you to make each forum viewable by guests ( google ) or not.
you can set it to where the forum title is viewable by guests but the topic s are not , you can set it so that only people in certain groups can view/read/post, etc.
but guests only see what guests are allowed to see and that includes any search engine.
