	You can edit the header.asp file, but there are already meta tags for search engines anyway, and your forum will be indexed, eventually.

	Most search engines ignore meta tags now, because they were abused so much when they worked.

	You need to be careful with meta tags. As wistex noted, most search engines ignore them. Loading them with your basic keywords or phrases shouldn't hurt although if you load them up excessively with keywords, they'll hurt you instead of help you. If you're in doubts, it's best to leave them off.
	Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.
