The amount of pages listed at Google for this forum is pathetic.
Such a huge wealth of information and due to the fact that the forum site search sucks, most of it is really hard to find.
It's not hard to make phpBB SE friendly, in fact it's easier than falling off a log. If the admins want details, get in touch. It'd be great to be able to really SEARCH this place

You just have to alter one of the functions. Can't remember off-hand, I'd have to look at my own code but I think it's called parse_url or somthing similar.
The problem is the SID that get's appended to the url. Google just can't handle it. At best it just ignores most of your site, at worst, (cos each SID is different for each user) it will crawl 10's of times more than it should costing both bandwidth and server AND STILL not list most of your site.
