Its so far worked for me. Just have the original PHP version
of the page, so that users can log in, if logins are required.

I am having problems with people registering usernames,
putting porn links in their profiles, and the dissappearing
and never coming back. phpBB does not have logging
capabilities, and I need to know where these users are
coming from, so I can block them. Firewall logs only
say there was a hit to port 80, and do not say which
parts of my web site were accessed. By directing users
to the HTML translated-page, I can log it on StatCounter,
and find out where these people are coming from and
block them, just as soon as the Yahoo and Google
web crawlers update their links so that users start
coming through the HTML-translated page instead
of the php page.
