Quick Question

I am about to purchase. I am running VB 3.5.3 with some plugins etc.... Will I need to uninstall anything or will it snap right in?

Also I have about 36,000 pages indexed from my old software (non VB). right now i just have a custom 404 page with the last 30 posts plus content. What can i do about all of these old pages that will never exist anymore? all of the threads are gone as they were on PNphpbb2 (barf)

I am currently running the non vbseo implementation of vbseo google/yahoo sitemap gen. and everything seems to be fine except i am getting alot of denied showpost urls. Can someone explain to me how vbSEO will correct this?

I am ready to buy i just want to make sure i wont be dissapointed.

my site is http://www.kansassoftball.net

You don't have to uninstall your existing vB plugins - there are no known issues regarding that currently and it should work seemlessly.

You should make sure that your custom 404 page returns HTTP code 404 to let SE bots know that these pages should be removed from index, and you will see that they disappear from indexing after some time.

There should be no errors of this kind. Do you see the errors when opening these pages in browser?
It is possible though that there was a temporary problem with your host when google bot attempted to load pages. In this case the errors will disappear after the bot will crawl these pages again.
