Why is google dropping my phpBB pages?

    Over the last week or 2, it seems Google has started to drop my phpBB sites from the index. I had about 400 pages in the index(the forums were just started), and now it's about 175. The entries that do exist(site:forums.nesfiles.com) don't show titles or descriptions, though if you follow the link and look at the source, it's all there... Anyone else seeing similar problems? Anyone have any ideas what this could be? I haven't changed the forums at all, and they're fairly active(50-150 posts a day)... Thanks.

    I've had a similar happening with my blog, dropping from 70 pages indexed down to 14. So yes I am suffering similar problems but no idea why, duplicate content perhaps (but I doubt it). I'm not all that bothered about my blog but I am very interested in finding out why so that I can prevent it happening on other sites.

    Indeed. My forums aren't too important to me(I make no $$$ from them), but I don't want my other sites to be hurt, and I do like having more of the pages indexed for coop reasons...
