what do you mean by mod-rewrite?

Trust me on this. I am the last person you want explaining this in any detail but I think I can give you a basic understanding. This is an example and does not reflect the real names of the scripts involved. Look at the address bar at the top of this page. You see:
/118208-what-static-dynamic-sites.html
as the last part of that address.
The real URL is something like showpost.php?forum=seo-forum&id=118208
When mod-rewrite is enabled in the .htaccess file parts of a URL can be rewriten to become something else that is more SEO friendly. In the case of this forum the scripts have also been modified to pull part of the post title and make it part of the URL so there is more than just mod-rewite going on.
Pure mod-rewrite would yield something like /seo-forum/118208.html
