There is a tool I wanted to share, a "SEO Mill" so-to-speak that I like to use on my sites. I used it to compare forum softwares to see which ones had the lowest amount of SEO issues. Mind you, I only tested the communities of the software, not fresh installs. Either-way, it gives you a "general idea" of which forums have better SEO by default.

XenForo: 9%
Invasion Power Board: 9%
vBulletin: 54%
Simple Machines Forum: 18%
MyBB: 9%
phpBB: 90%
I was blown away from the comparison between vBulletin and XenForo.
BTW, I am not affiliated with that site or tool in anyway. I found it via google, and like using it. Also excellent for debugging my template errors or mods. It seems to be very reliable, except for the "spelling errors" part.
