It appears that Google has taken a negative view of phpBB Forums due to the prevalence of worm invasions and spammers using them. I noticed my forums posts had been designated as supplemental - in other words, penalised, despite my constant fumigation of pron merchants. As well, I found evidence for my theory at WebProWorld and phpBB community forums.

Thus I’ve moved the useful information gathered over the years from Sibagraphics Forums to Siblog, which is prominent with the search engines despite being round for less time than the forums. It’s much more convenient for me only having one venue to administrate as well!

Happily, WordPress has the ability to moderate all comments and posts and doesn’t have a member list available for the miserable spammers to infest with their puerile poker urls etc.
