Is there a way to generate a Google Sitemap of a forum website? Is there a website offering this service or a php snippet that I can put in my forum software?
How many links do you have? If you have more than 10000 i suggest that you download a desktop software like sitemapbuilder at http://www.sitemapbuilder.net to do it, otherwise it will take eternity. If not, try mine: http://www.webrickco.com/buildsitemap.php
Thx guys, this is encouraging! I'm trying to make it faster by setting groups of URL to crawl in one time.
you can use http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ Offers a sitemap generator that creates Google sitemaps in XML format, together with text and HTML sitemaps. Free online to a maximum 500 pages

It depends on your forum software if you can find an integrated module/plugin. Otherwise you may want to check A1 Sitemap Generator, free 30 days evaluation - no fixed page limits.
Are you running VB? If so there are a few great hacks that can be installed in your forum that will really bring the spiders in..
