In reply to: How can I add a plugin to this site?
Hey Mike,
Welcome! I’m not a dev here, but currently there is an effort to rewrite bbpress as a wordpress plugin. This process is making many plugins for bbpress obsolete. There is some discussion about making it possible to use bbpress plugins with the new bbpress-plugin in WP, but that feature is not guaranteed.
Despite the effort towards bbpress-plugin, there likely will remain a community around bbpress standalone which will continue to use the current plugins. You are welcome to continue writing plugins for the standalone version. I am not sure, however, how you should go about submitting that since I am not a dev. Perhaps jumping on the bbpress IRC channel you can find someone.
As a sidenote, from what I understand, most people use a combination of Akismet and a human test to prevent spam. For those who desire a CAPTCHA, there is already a reCAPTCHA plugin available.
Best of luck!

In reply to: bbPress 2.0 – UpdatesHey,
I’m a newcomer here, but I’ve spent more than a few hours reading over the forums to get a feel for the community and understand the entire bbPress-plugin saga. I really appreciate all of the work that JJJ is putting into this and I’m excited about the future of this. I know there is some skepticism in the community, but just from looking over the amount of work JJJ has put into this, I think bbPress-plugin has a bright future.
I am willing to help out and hopefully will have time soon to jump on IRC and start hacking.
