ATM 132.000 indexed pages for forum.domain.com.
After one month is already up to 187000... didn't change anything else. I'm now fully convinced the archive is to blame.

Then why was it also higher before I enabled the archive again? It's higher when disabled and lower when enabled.

disabled, lets hope it works out your theory is right, why give more notice to older posts rather than new ones especially when vbseo is taking care of all optimizations, silly this isnt default in vb when you think about.

Archives were the pre-sitemap-sitemaps that were made necessary primarily due to the development requirement of complex URL structures in dynamic sites. As our understanding of SEO grows in the development process, this has improved over time, and technologies like AJAX are starting to allow more dynamic complexity without overloading the URLs, we are going to need these concepts much less.

Google and other search engines now supporting XML based sitemaps now make them almost completely unnecessary in most cases. But each system varies, and they could be useful in some situations, even arguably in the vBulletin system.

I prefer maximimizing crawling efficiency and focusing on the actual content-rich pages themselves, not the archive shell.
