Why don't you try checking its meta tag then if you find a word that goes like "no follow or no index" then that's probably causing the problem why your forum is not indexed in Google or Yahoo.

How old are your forum? Google need a time to index it so please be patient
But if your forum is already establish from a long time ago, you can try to check your site setting because there is a setting which forbid google index indexing your forum.

my forum is also powered by smf free
but then it was index after three days since its up.
try editing the mata tag.

it usually says {noindex}

but you can edit it in the admin settings.
just edit the meta tag in the file itself.

Now I see my forum properly index, meta tags are 100% perfect, but inspite having excellent meta tags, the forum homepage is shown later in the results. I have the maximum traffic on my forum as per my keywords, and my pageviews too are high. Still google shows the forumpage in the search results later on. y?/

Make sure your site's content not same with another site's content. main. Main title of your content should large font and I think images not listed in search engine.

Use sitemaps generator and add sitemaps.xml to google webmaster tools.

I would recommend you to check your meta tags or robots.txt file to confirm if there were code like nofollow or noindex.
Generally speaking, quality backlinks would help any sites or forums in faster indexed.
