It seems to be compressing... For me it never compressed the forum summary pages, but only the forum listing pages. And taking a look at the cgi forum listing pages on your forum they seem to be sub 5kb (which is an accurate size). Since PHP already should be using Gzip naturally, the compression wont do anything on the PHP pages to compress them.
