SEO for a Forum Homepage

When a forum homepage is essentially just a list of contents of the forum, how am I mean to optimise the on page elements?

this is really a trick question. The only place I can think of that you can optimize is, the title, forum description, keywords which can be related to threads. and as our fellow warriors told us already check WF as one of them.

Best of luck.

Besides the SEO on page factor, don't forget to acquire high quality backlinks toward the forum homepage.

Forum home page optimization is quite tricky. Because its dynamic you need to make special efforts.
A dynamic page does not actually exist but is triggered by server side when a user clicks.
ASP,PERL and PHP are some of the server side programs used to write dynamic pages.
In order to enable search engines to index dynamic webpages
-Create subsequent static pages and place links to the dynamic pages on the static pages
-A Sitemap that fully displays all the links to the dynamic pages across the web site.
