Do you optimize your forum post titles?

[Beverly]

For SEO purposes, is it a good idea to change forum post titles to something that is more search engine friendly? Would you do this or allow the title to stay as is? This could help your forum rank better for certain keywords, but maybe it would offend members how their post was changed. What would you do?

I personally wouldn't change anyone's topic titles. I think it would drive away what little members we do have. So I don't. That is just me personally.

No never. I just post what I really need to know.

You can but remember that Google pays attention to keywords proximity.
