1. Be patient and keep in mind it takes Google some time to index your site.
2. Add more content to your forum.

3. Don't look at some weird SEO ratings, they're inaccurate.
Does the old Google SEO plugin actually still work fully for 1.8? It hasn't been updated since August last year...
Add Google Analytics to your site OP, and register with Google Webmaster tools. I'm almost certain they'll get you noticed by Google.
Also make sure to use META tags in your <head></head> element.

It certainly still does. We use it just fine. As it pertains to the OP, the fact that you're forum was inactive for a bit, Google may not have your forum a top priority when indexing.
