phpBB -> xF .htaccess

[xenTheory]

So my forum has been using xF now for quite some time and I see no need to continue to have a complicated htaccess file (which affects PR) as there were only around 1000 posts on phpBB and it was months and months ago.

So, here is my current htacesss:

#<IfModule mod_security.c>
#    SecFilterEngine Off
#    SecFilterScanPOST Off
#</IfModule>
 
ErrorDocument 401 default
ErrorDocument 403 default
ErrorDocument 404 default
ErrorDocument 500 default
 
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.([^.]+)\.([^.]+)$
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1.%2/$1 [R=301,L]
 
    #RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)t=([0-9]+)(&|$) [NC]
    RewriteRule ^viewtopic\.php$ /threads/%2? [L,R=301,NC]
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)p=([0-9]+)(&|$) [NC]
    RewriteRule ^viewtopic\.php$ /posts/%2? [L,R=301,NC]
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} f=(\d+)$ [NC]
    RewriteRule ^viewforum\.php$ /forums/%1 [L,R=301,NC]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
    RewriteRule ^(data/|js/|styles/|install/|favicon\.ico|crossdomain\.xml|robots\.txt) - [NC,L]
    RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
</IfModule>

What should I change it to in order to remove the phpBB redirects, or is it best to just leave it?

It doesn't hurt to leave it.

Otherwise you can see a default htaccess.txt file in the .zip and remove the additional entries.

Thank you for the reply, I was concerned about page ranking etc and it does seem to produce a lot of errors, however I'm trying to work that out.
