   I wanted to let everyone know that I've been working on a clone of bbPress which is built entirely in Pods. I'm not intending it to replace bbPress, but I am intending to continue development of the functionality to bring it to more of a vBulletin level. That's the big picture anyway, I'm nearly done with getting bbPress functionality done itself.

   You can see my progress here:

   Once I've completed it, I will post the package on the Pods site so you can just import the package into your own site.

   This is mighty interesting!

   If you can build vBulletinesque features into your bbPress-Pods clone, you'll get a mass following!

   r-a-y,

   Thanks for your interest in the project! It's definitely heading in that direction :-)

   bbPress is going to be developed as a WordPress plugin now.

   Yeah, I know, but it's good to have alternatives!

   Finally done with it, took a little bit because I got very busy with client work. You can check it out at:

   Here's a crazy question. Whatever bbpress evolves into, will migration to something new, like what you're building, be a crazy nightmare?

   I'm building a migration script that does migration automatically. As for what bbPress itself evolves into, I'm not sure if it will get easier or more difficult, but I plan on accommodating a reasonable amount of trouble ;)

   I don't know much about Pods, but how does this handle things like wordpress-bbpress integration? Is there user integration?

    There is no separation between WP users and users in Pods. Pods is a plugin built ontop of the WP framework. It creates custom tables which are scuplted to fit the exact specifications of the content developed with Pods.
