   So, I finally got the revamp of my site launch completed on January 1st. The "News" portion of the site is driven by wordpress, and the "Messageboard" portion is bbpress with some marriage between the two.

   We migrated from a phpbb2 install that was using phpbbfetchall for pulling "News" to the front page. I think the new set up is much better. ;)

   I'm still ironing out glitches and adding features, but I thought I'd share it here to show it off so far. We get between 10,000-12,000 unique visitors to the site per day, and bbpress is handling that traffic beautifully.

   How do you put the forum inside the blog?

   The forum isn't "inside" the blog. The templates are all just set up to look the same across the site. :D

   Seems the change of your blog got quite some negative review

   How do you feel about that?

   This is a great example of integration, login with WP and use BBPress for the profile and then log out through BBPress. I'm trying to copy the setup myself as it works well. If you ever read this then any info on your method would be very useful such as what plugins you use

   Very nice conversion and I am very partial to the blue vs default green of bbPress.
