Sitemap for forums?

[brother]

Do you think it is a good idea to generate sitemaps for forums and submit them to search engines?
vBSEO has a sitemap generator for forums. Would it be a problem to generate a sitemap for large forums???

sitemap is good to rank up your forum.
You submit your sitemap is like you submit your new threads and posts.
definitely good for SEO.

and limit yor sitemap links to under 5000 for large forum.

Yes. I have two sitemaps of my Forum.

One is a XML sitemap,
which i submit to search engines. (google and yahoo)

And the other is a simple hierarchical sitemap for visitors.
(converted the vB forum archive to act like that)

Of course Site map for a website and same thing for a forum is good. create sitemap Submit in google

Yes I do, but I don't really update it. The bots visit my site a lot so I figure they spider everything they need to. But I'll probably update tonight.

Sitemaps are great for SEO. If you're not using one, you should start.
