ill be happy to
you hv access to all your forums
right?
so, you dont need a CATEGORY's becuse its
keeps you one more link (click) away from ur homepage, a usless/empty link that vbseo is set to disable.
if u use hierarchical urls (most of you will), ur homepage will got the most "power" and as u get inside, links & pages get more weak.
web pages that have distance of one link away from homepage hv more power then pages that have distance of two links away from homepage.
sorry for my bad english.
