it depends on exactly what you are looking for here - do you have anything on your forum that you want them to see at all? if not then like @MikeNolan said, you can use the `login_required` setting to restrict all content to members. but if there are some content you want anonymous users to be able to see, then you have to use other methods, like category security permissions for example. 🙂
