That theme looks more like Thesis.
Marius, that is a theme’s work – not of bbPress.
And also remove all generated short URL (that’s an option just below where you change the short url service).
Change your URL shortener.
One can easily do a check on activation if BBP_VERSION is defined and optionally a version_compare check too, and if it doesn’t satisfy the condition, then the plugin should deactivate itself.

We can load the same scripts, hooks etc. and it would come up. I haven’t checked that in detail, but it should be possible.
@Erlend
Adding front-end posting with TinyMCE isn’t a huge task. Regarding image uploads, P2 theme already has that functionality.
When editing a reply, the “Notify me of followup posts via e-mail” text appears twice (once below the “Allowed markup” and once above.)
I think this is related to theme, I didn’t happen on my installation with Kakumei.
This means that the theme here doesn’t contain edit-form.php and is using Kakumei’s. In the patch I posted, the action (to add the checkbox) is removed in functions.php and is instead added at a custom location in Kakumei’s edit-form.php, and as functions of Kakumei aren’t loaded here, the default action isn’t removed and the checkbox is displayed twice. This doesn’t happen with post-form.php as it is present here.
I just had a suggestion – when the plugin would be public and this site’s posts converted, we could have an if statement above the topic like
if ( topic_date is before bla bla date || one of the topic_tags == 'bb_old' ) { /* load a message which says that this is for bb 1.1 and below, this doesn't apply to the new plugin */ }
But I’m also not against changing its name or having its version as 2.0.
I don’t think we have any space for fakes in this community.

Still, regarding your questions (and answering them from whatever I’ve read):
1) I think it would remain as it is (can’t say much about it).
2) bbPress 1.1 would be released and maintenance release (bug fixes, etc.) might also be released as 1.1.1 etc., but I think no new features would be added in it.
3) GlotPress still uses BackPress, so it isn’t going anywhere.
Lol..
Regarding 1.1, it’s fairly stable (I have it running on a big live site) and almost ready for aplha/beta after the 2 tickets on 1.0.3 and 1.1 are fixed.
Ben (Nightgunner5) had written a greasemonkey script to show plugins’ stats – http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/63060
Kevin my friend,
For those of us who make a living with bbPress, unilateral decisions made without visibility and with no re-course for questioning nor appeal are scary. really scary.
At least v1.1 is there for the time being, hopefully that would be released soon (after 2 bugs on 1.0.3 and 1.1 are fixed). It’s pretty stable and those who want to run a standalone, can run it and customize it with existing plugins/themes.
And about making a living, it can also be done with bbPress as a WP plugin 
I think people are allowed to be a little shell-shocked at this bombshell; especially as it didn’t even warrant its own forum post, sticky or blog post. It just comes across as a footnote and unimportant.
The forum topic is this one and the announcement is here (I know no one told any of us about this blog).
For others – Justin just posted about the WP forum plugin that he has made on his own – http://justintadlock.com/archives/2010/07/16/a-wordpress-forum-plugin-using-custom-post-types
The disorder of posts on profile page is related to #1301
Use bb_topic.php_pre_db action.
Those are very old posts, and bbPress wouldn’t have been that stable at that time.
@chris
Yesterday and before that, the members’ name was blank. It is happening because of the anonymous posting changeset, it checks if there is a name of the user or displays Anonymous. But I don’t think it is a bbPress bug, it is something to do with bbPress.org backend.
You can use the bb_is_front function (my previous comment went in spam).
