You could add a robots.txt rule to not spider your forums, then use a sitemap... although I'm not sure how this would work, since Id on't know if google would still crawl th edata in the sitemap...

I think that was my point back on Page 1 -- If you exclude a directory with robots.txt then it won't be crawled, and I'm pretty sure regardless of what's in your sitemap. That's just how it works (as I understand it). And that's why I keep asking. wink
