phpBB Discussion • Re: Duplicate URL issue on phpBB forum affecting Google indexing

phpBB uses canonical url in the the head tag, if you check each of those URL's it's set to.
The purpose of that is so search engine knows it's duplicate content. Why they would all be showing up in search results you'll need to ask Google.

What you can do is use robots.txt to block those links with parameters like p= using wildcard.
