Googling site:www.portlandhikers.org turns up 90 pages or so and no content from the forums with all the good stuff in them. I believe the problem is the permission settings for the 'bots' group on the user forums, perms need to be tweaked on new forums to allow read access for bots. I managed a phpbb forum a bit ago and had to do this to make content visible to Google and it worked but I've since taken the site down so I don't have the specifics but there is a thread on the phpbb forum on this topic:

Looks like Yahoo search exhibits the same problem.
Here is a tutorial on permissions that mentions bots perms, looks vaguely familiar.

I could be wrong about all this.

I just changed the setting, thanks.
We'll see if the bots start picking it up.
