You can create a login form though various methods (widgets, shortcodes, etc) and have them redirect to the site.
So unless your users specifically know to go to /wp-admin there are ways to keep WP from sending them there.
If you create a new, public, forum does it do this for it as well?
Create a ‘Homepage’ page. Use one of the bbPress shortcodes on that page. Now go into Settings->Reading and set the homepage to a static page (in this case, the ‘Homepage’ you just created).
Did you search on the WordPress.org plugin repo?
In your WordPress dashboard go to Settings -> Permalinks. Going to that page will trigger a permalink refresh!
Sorry, I can’t help you there.
It should be pretty simple however. Just create those 2 pages, paste those shortcodes, and you’re done.
You need to create pages and use shortcodes.
See https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes
For example have a login page that contains [bbp-login] and a registration page that has [bbp-register] – this will allow you users to register for an account (which they need to post) and and area to login at.
Also there are plenty of plugins available on WordPress.org that let you put a login for into widget areas etc.
What are you trying to do exactly?
The bbP admin area is combined with the WordPress admin area, so you access it the same way.
Once you are on the Dashboard you will see specific menu items that have been added for bbP.
When you are looking for bbP 2 plugins, disregard the plugins on bbPress.org as they are going to be for 1.x.
All bbP 2.x plugins are being hosted on wordpress.org, so that is where you will want to start your search. Specifically you can check out
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/bbpress
Currently with bbPress there is no way easy do that, unfortunately – at least not that I’m aware of!

As mentioned, you are going to have to do some poking around in order for the results to be returned in an orderly fashion 
Have you tried flushing your permalinks?
It’s also worth noting that you need to make sure and create your own bbP theme if you are going to modify it.
If you edit the core theme that is inside the bbPress plugin directory you will lose all your customizations next time you update.
I have not seen a case when anything irreversible has happened.
However, with that said, it is *always* good practice to backup first, before any major updates or tweaks.
If you have pretty permalinks turned on (eg mysite.com/about instead of myside.com/?p=14) bbPress should automatically configure mysite.com/forums by default.
It’s possible you need to “flush” your permalinks for this to take affect. To do this just go to the Settings > Permalinks page, merely navigating to the page will trigger the flush.
Assuming your theme using the WP Menu system you should be able to just go to Appearances > Menus and add a link to the forums that way.
Have you tried using one of the shortcodes to generate the forum index?
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes
It looks like your theme is displaying the forums with an archive view instead of using bbP’s forum view.
Alright, marking this as done.

Latest round of commits fixes everything, including pagination. Enjoy Genesis goodness.
//edit: i cant spell >_<
@WebEndDev
Try adding this to the plugin:
remove_action('genesis_after_endwhile', 'genesis_posts_nav');
If that works then I will update the patch/plugin
Glad you got it figured out 
For anyone who stumbles on this topic: the plugin linked to above has been tested with Genesis 1.7.1, WP 3.2.X, bbP RC 4, and *several* Genesis themes – so far I have found zero issues.
The patch still needs more testing and tweaks, however. That’s next.
Right now the patch is pretty much what the plugin is – just cleaned up and in a patch form. It needs further testing. The sole purpose of the patch/plugin is to help provide a few fixes so Genesis/bbP will have limited out of the box support for each other.
It doesn’t make any changes to the template files or the way they operate.

I’ve been told all bbPress 2 plugins are hosted on WordPress.org in the plugin repository.
