How important is it to add a sitemap to a phpbb warez forum? Will it help me get better traffic and more indexed pages in google?

it is important

A sitemap enables crawlers to visit your website's all urls at one place and it helps them to crawl the all urls. So it increases the indexing probability of your web pages in Google. However, it won't make any side effect on your website(if it is is properly interlinked) if you don't add a sitemap.
 
Do I need to make different sitemaps for google, bing and yahoo?
nope, you can submit the same sitemap to every search engine.

add your sitemap in google webmaster tools, so you can check the number of indexed URLs.
Code:
https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home?hl=en
and use this tool to ping all major search engines:
