Considering the need to keep active the Search Engine Friendly Archive. Would like to know - why is it there?

Is it JUST about URLs? Wouldn't a spider follow the links and recognize the <title> & <description> + content in the regular forum? For example: a Google search of the terms "vbulletin 4 release date" returns

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=198928

as the 1st response. No descriptive URL there.

So, if you've got good <title>ing & <description>s + content + overall page rank... shouldn't that be enough for good ranking in the regular Forum? Why use the Archive? What's the point?

Thanks!!,

Wes

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
