I think a robots.txt option such as:

Code:

User-agent: *
Disallow; /forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=calendar
Disallow: /forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/calendar
Disallow: /forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showday
Disallow: /forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showday

Should stop all bots from accessing you calendar

Please splain the site map thing? Is it a one-time deal or do you have to re-do it or update it and if so how often?

A site map is a mapped set of links that google gets from a predefined URL...

A better explanation is a working copy of my sitemap generator:
http://www.elitewebgamers.com/ubb.sitemap.php?type=1&se=2

Basically it grabs all of the id's from your database and populates links for google of what content is where; it assists in the discovery of new urls for google.

You can read more about it on UBBDev here

Then you tell Google that that is your site map? If you have tens of thousands of posts, wouldn;t that file get very big? Or does it not actually list every single thread?

The file is generated when it's called each week by google; the files size is a constant of under like 8k. The links are built when it's called each week by google's sitemap crawler.

But you have the rest, basically google hits your map and grabs the links, and lists them in its discovery database
