What do I need to do? The problem I am having is that when ever I  copy the text of one of the threads/topics and do a search for that exact same text, I get no results for my site. Bots seem to be running and working. Any Ideas? Is there something I'm missing or what suppose to do?

If you don't know what I mean, then I'll give you an example.
For this I will use this thread here http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=376053.msg2602869#msg2602869

lets say I copy the text from my first post
QuoteI was able to record one of my nukes..
I was pretty nervous on my last kill, didn't think I was going to get it, but I did.
and paste that on a search engine like google and do a search for it.

The first result should be that thread because it's the exact same text
as seen here in these results
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=I+was+able+to+record+one+of+my+nukes..+I+was+pretty+nervous+on+my+last+kill,+didn't+think+I+was+going+to+get+it,+but+I+did.&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=


but when I do the same thing for my forums, I get nothing. =[

your quotes are too generic to point to your site, read a little bit more about SEO, get Sitemap mod if you don't have it, and keep generating content as well as backlinks to your site. depending on the niche and the amount of content&links, sooner or later you will find your site closer to the top. SEO is a complicated process, and there's no universal explanation why sometimes things don't work as expected
