Forum needs recurring to active and unique visitors to be lively, when a forum stop getting unique visitors, it will stop growing,age and die.
Check out heavy forums and see, be sure that Google is right behind it's success.Quote I was reading somewhere that PHPBB3 is the best seo forum software, I installed it in my live server sometimes last year and found the funny seo pattern too. I installed the 'famous' seo and found something funny, it doesn't redirect the old url structure to the new structure, if you create a topic, you will have two structures in each thread, like
website.com/index.php?f=2t&t=3
website.com/thread=3.html

My CMS is written in PHP3 and has some really ugly url patterns. So for me there's a lot to do to get back the love of Google
website.com/index.php?f=2t&t=3
website.com/thread=3.html

I, for one, don't give much on a site's Google ranking. I don't even use Google. When I am looking for information, meta and title tags are less interesting than a site's content.
