I’m starting a website that uses phpBB as the back-end software. So obviously there’s a forum part of my website, but I also want an articles section. The easiest way I’ve found to implement this is to write my articles as posts in the forum, and then "pull" the posts from the database and display them on what looks like a static html page on the website.

So now that you know what I’m doing, the question is about the duplicate content problem (or not problem?) that this creates, since the content exists in the forum thread and also on what appears to be the static article page. Will a search engine penalize me for doing this? If so, I can probably find a different way of doing the articles, but the way I’m doing it right now is actually working really well so I’d like to stick with it if possible

Appreciate your advice.
