for your reference what i have done in my forum !
Since google bot uses session ids in phpbb forums and it will be harder for google bot i even installed the session id hack mod for phpbb available in phpbb official forum which enhances the google indexing and also some search engine requires meta tag ! by default phpbb forum meta tag is not configured and so i i even added meta tags to my forum and also robots.txt in which i allowed all bots to crawl my forum except my admin folder !
Not even a single pharse found in google but atleast my index page is found in msn and yahoo !

I have not personally used the suggestions put forward by hoomanv, however I believe that they may be of use, just as I believe my comments have some value.
why not
It can take time to become fully indexed
