Recently i have noticed googlebot accessing my site, but it always seems to be only viewing the memberlist for some reason. My forum has been up for about 6 days now, but there is still nothing when i do a seach on google. My forums does allow guests to see some of the threads... I'm i doing anything wrong?
 
Indexing your board on search engines may last weeks if not months. If you want to accelerate indexing you should use some SEO solution (like vBSEO) and put a robot.txt in the root to prevent bots from indexing unnecessary pages.
This is the best content that you have to put in your robot.txt (you should adjust the path to your forum)
