the forum url : example.com/forum redirects to example.com/forum/ is this bad for SE's ?
It doesn't matter for SE's at all. Ideally it should always work that way (and it depends on the configuration of your server). If you enter minibb.com/forums for example, it will be redirected to minibb.com/forums/ - and it is correct.

The text you've changed won't be available on the page at all. And you can't remove it because it's part of the GPL license, i.e. your copyright agreement.

Recently I've read the interesting
point of view about SEO and in many aspects support it. Study it carefully and you will be wondered that it's not important
how the pages are build, but
what's on them.
