Tags and Pretty URIs
bbPress now has rudimentary tag support and gorgeous URIs that don’t require mod_rewrite. You can see both in action on the WordPress forums and I’ll be revving the tag support significantly in the coming weeks. There have also been numerous profile and performance enhancements you may want to check out.
How is it possible to do these urls without mod rewrite?

You use $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] in PHP I think and also force Apache to treat filenames without extensions as PHP files. You’d then split up the path information into topic ID etc. I’m not sure if that’s how bbPress works but that’s one way of doing it.

Yep that’s what we’re doing.

I think what you should be doing it is that make bbPress work WITH wordpress like a plugin… I believe that they should work together for the site.

Look for a demo of the (highly modified) latest version over here: http://www.tractorfan.nl
