How to get rid of "no index"?

I'm having trouble getting my site indexed because there is this confusing little "noindex" tag in the header of my forum.  I can't for the life of me figure out how to get rid of it.  My robots.txt is allowing it, so it must be something inside of SMF that is causing this.

Here's the header tag showing the "noindex"



<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-gb" lang="en-gb" >
<head>
  <base href="http://secsportshub.com/message-board" />
  <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
  <meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />
  <meta name="keywords" content="SEC Sports, SEC Football, SEC Basketball, SEC Baseball, Florida Gators, Georgia Bulldogs, Kentucky Wildcats, South Carolina Gamecocks, Tennessee Volunteers, Vanderbilt Commodores, Alabama Crimson Tide, Arkansas Razorbacks, Auburn Tigers, LSU Tigers, Mississippi State Bulldogs, Ole Miss Rebels" />
  <meta name="description" content="SEC Sports Hub is an interactive fan site for SEC Football, SEC Basketball, SEC Baseball and other SEC sports news!" />
  <meta name="generator" content="Joomla! 1.5 - Open Source Content Management" />
  <title>Mark Fox understands there's only one Mark in Athens</title>

  <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://secsportshub.com/modules/mod_smfssi/mod_smfssi.css" type="text/css"/>
  <style type="text/css">
#com_smf {
margin: 0;
padding: 12px 0 4px 0;
font-size: 120%;
line-height: 100%;
visibility: visible;
clear: none;
}
#com_smf hr {
visibility: visible;
}
</style>
  <meta name="description" content="Mark Fox understands there's only one Mark in Athens" />

  <meta name="keywords" content="PHP, MySQL, bulletin, board, free, open, source, smf, simple, machines, forum" />
  <meta name="robots" content="noindex" />


The very bottom line contains the "noindex" despite the fact that there is a meta tag in there that also says to index and follow.
