Google does not just index every page it is submitted, or may do so with a considerable delay.
With SMF, it's usually enough to just submit the forum index for indexing through the "Fetch as Google" feature.
Fetch the page, submit it for indexing with the URL and linked pages setting. No sitemaps, SEO mods or anything really needed.

Over time, if the contents are acceptable to Google, you will see the number of indexed pages rise. Like this:

"Before you allow people access to your forum, especially in an administrative position, you must be aware that that person can seriously damage your forum. Therefore, you should only allow people that you trust, implicitly, to have such access." -Douglas

This sort of thing takes time, especially if your website is new. I'd concentrate on creating content, then once you've created content, Google will crawl your website even without a sitemap. In fact, I have never used a sitemap in my life and I have several thousand topics already on there.

Also, you may not know but Google has crawled your website:
