phpBB - Nuke and Google <title> tags

Given that google loves title tags more than actual page content and the fact that Google doesn't even look at META tags...

Is it possible to display the forum categorie/topic title in the page <title> the same way the news stories display their title in the page <title> when selected?

I really think this could help with getting the forum entries indexed.

That won't help.. you see, I think the problem is the with SID value for googlebot when it comes to index. The forums throw out a session ID and googlebot doesn't index those pages.

Google technically doesn't look @ anything being that it pulls it's data from the Open Directory System.

That's not entirely true either... it uses Page Rank and that is how it was able to index Nuke Cops. Nuke Cops wasn't submitted to DMOZ. It was found thanks to sites like phpnuke.org linking back here.
