phpBB SEO - should I bother?

Hello,

I run an unmodified phpBB forum which gets "ok" traffic. If I search for certain threads, they do show up in Google. So I assume all pages are indexed by Google.

Will any of the phpBB SEO mods help me? Or can ignore such modifications since the pages are spidered even without them?

Thanks
Marcus

I've been running phpBB for nearly 6 years. For SEO it isn't the best. Out of 37K threads, Google shows 20K in it's index. I suspect Google has a hard time indexing all the threads. I'm using one mod_rewrite SEO hack I made myself and that's helping index the most recent threads.

I don't know how that compares to other forum software...?
