Archive - SiteMap Question

Hi all,
with vbseo installed is not possible anymore to read the archive post page?

I mean
https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/arch...t-194701.html?

Thanks

Archive pages are duplicate pages and is not good to have them at all. Thats why vBSEO redirects archive thread pages to original threads

so should we remove archive from robots? and also below sitemap which is recommended to be included? I understand tags also not advice to put in, so if remove archive, does that mean we just need index and forum? please advice...............

Sitemap: http://xxx/sitemap_index.xml.gz
Sitemap: http://xxx/sitemap_forum_1.xml.gz
Sitemap: http://xxx/sitemap_tags_1.xml.gz
Sitemap: http://xxx/sitemap_archive_1.xml.gz

I only suggest including your main index.xml.gz as site map file as it contains information for other site map files
