hmmm … no… we purposely do not want to index user pages. besides the spam factor what kind of value does this provide.

People on here keep asking for MORE SEO JUICE and INTERLINKING every so often and I honestly can’t think of anything better along those lines than linking to the most-liked posts + recent posts you’ve made.

For my specific forum it would be great to have user pages indexed, it is a paid site so we don’t have the spammer problem.
