Vbulletin forum is mostly supplemental - did Google make a mistake?

[testing0]

I have an old website about 5 years old.

it has a forum and about 50.000 posts on the forum.

Today i check almost every post is Supplemental!

btw i use a very good forum script "vbulletin"

its kinda wierd i never seen such a thing before!

Was wondering maybe google mistake? as its not possible that all those page have supplemental materials or titles!

Any idea?

It's always possible for Google to make mistakes. But most forum software, including vbulletin, creates multiple urls for accessing the same content. The chance is much better that this is not a mistake - that Google is unwilling to index so many duplicate urls in the main index.

We have a good reference thread about this issue - it's available from our Hot Topics [webmasterworld.com] section which is always pinned to the top of the forum's index page

If google made a VB mistake this section would be lit up like christmas... Lots of big forums out there.
