    I'm uploading a new website (50+pages) and i need to promote hem,
    I can generate sitemap for the site. but the site comes with phpBB forum,
    which i can't make for him any sitemap,

    Should i generate a sitemap only for the site (and not include the forum pages) , or not to generate any sitemap at all?

    Thanks ahead.

    depends,

    sometimes people dont like forums being spidered because the pages change so often, search engines hammer them day in day out.
    Sometimes just including the main forum page is enough and let google find the rest.

    If you forum is located at a subdomain, you can generate a separate Google XML sitemap for it.

    Anyways, under all circumstances, it is still quite easy to generate sitemaps over forums etc. if you use *cough* some sitemap crawler software to do it :)
