Hi Susan,
You can achieve the search engine friendly url's either using mod_rewrite or PATH_INFO, but both methods still display dynamic content. I can't predict whether you would get kicked off or not, but I'm not sure I agree with their reasoning. Most well behaved spiders (i.e. Google, Altavista, etc) will limit the number of requests to your domain to 1 or 2 hits per second top regardless of cgi or static html pages.
Even if you don't use the search engine templates, you can always have a misbehaved robot, or some user using an offsite downloader hammer a forum. I don't think it would be grounds for getting kicked off though.
Cheers,
Alex
