    Over 3k threads, 14k posts, and 1.9k members and only.....

    681 pages are indexed in Google.......What did I mess up? That does not seem right at all, should be quite a bit more, right?

    Can someone help me out here?

    Have you been monitoring this stat for some time? Has it gone done recently? stayed flat? slowly gone up? Indexing doesn't happen over night. I see you've been installed with vbseo for some time now, so you should be seeing slightly better results.
    Out of the 3k threads, a quick look says that about 1k are garbage (according to google.... basically all your random chit chat forums) so i would think about 2k indexed would be a goal figure for your site at this point in time.

    I wouldn't say you're doing anything wrong.


    I would suggest adding some heading tags and moving your CSS to filesystem.

    But is it possible that somewhere along the line I messed up the settings in either my sitemap, vbseo, or vb?

    Nothing stands out as being wrong. your structure looks ok and so does your sitemap.
