Re: getting the forum picked up by google
I decided to give the bbPress plugin another chance. I installed it and tried creating a new topic… the browser was thinking for a looong time. I eventually stopped the process, deactivated the plugin, and created a new topic — that one was created very quickly.
It could be an issue with the permissions of my sitemap.xml, although I am pretty sure I 777’d it properly.
As for size of the forum, it’s significant but not huge. Thanks to ck’s awesome Mini Stats plugin, I can give you the exact stats: ~11k Topics and ~75k posts.
Just thought I’d share an update.
