I have a bunch of question for our new forum

[motorcycletalk]

I just started a new forum for http://www.motorcycletalk.ca. As you can see my installation is brand new. So, here come the questions.

1) How do I change the registration so it performs just like this forum?
2) How do I make my homepage, www.motorycletalk.ca the forum page. Currently it is http://www.motorcycletalk.ca/forum.php and that is not what I want.
3) I have not read this far yet, but how do I get Vbulletin to generate an xml sitemap for google and bing? What about a robots.txt file or is that something I do manually?
4) I am afraid of duplicate content and meta tag issues. How do I get a plug in for a different meta tags and different description for each page?
5) How do I get cleaner URLs or in wordpress they are called Permalinks.
6) I have three domains. www.motorcycletalk.co.uk, www.motorcycletalk.ca and www.motorcycletalk.com. I want motorcycletalk.com to be the master domain. Meaning, it will have the and control the cms and blog functionality. On the other sites, I would like to only purchase the basic forum software but tie up the blogs and links to the master website? Do I need to buy a seperate license for each url or can I use the same installation for all the urls? What would be the optimum set up here?
7) We all have been to WebHostingTalk.com. I like the way they have the main forums, but then under that they have sub forums listed on their homepage template. Is that a functionality out of the box or is that a customization I need to pay for?

I know this is quite a bit of questions so if anyone could answer, I would be very grateful. So glad to join the Vbulletin team and looking forward to your responses.
