Use bbPress in place of WordPress comments

   Is it possible to use bbPress (2.x) for blog post comments on WordPress instead of the normal WP comment system? I seem to recall this being possible in older versions of bbPress, but perhaps I am mistaken.

   It was possible with an older version of bbPress. I don't think it's possible with 2.0 yet, but I'd be surprised if there wasn't a plugin created for it in the near future.

   This is now possible:

   Though it's still unclear to me whether or not this relies on BuddyPress 1.5, the environment in which this functionality is showcased. It would be a very odd dependency though, so I'm hoping this would also be possible with WP + BBP alone.

   For those interested, a plugin is in development that automates the functionality described in Erlend's link:

   Any chance making it so all the comment forums for a multisite installation are handled by one of the sites.

   Example
   1.abc.com, 2.abc.com, and 3.abc.com have their comments in the forums at forums.abc.com?

   @Andre - you'd need to do some switch_to_blog() action to pull it off, but it's doable.
