Same on vbSEO - same question that is. Looks promising, may be exactly what I've been looking for but want to get response to question before installing it.

VBSEO already adds forum specific keywords for each forum to your generic keywords. It also does this for each thread and post. VBSEO also adds a description related to each forum or thread.

This is a good mod if you don't have VBSEO installed but if you do, I don't think you need it.

Please add language definitions (lang=X), so that multilingual forums can finally get indexed in google.com google.de google.fr or whatever versions of google. They have separate indexes.
