It would actually be really easy to build in bbPress theme functionality into the get_header and get_footer functions of WordPress, and I’ve thought about doing that in a few of the themes I’m making. Let me experiment this evening and report back.
Not the header files, but the wp-load.php file. You would want to include the absolute path to that file, so that your administration area is able to access it as well.
I am not at home currently but I can explain in more detail in a few hours.
You know, I’ve thought about this type of thing, and I think that bbPress really tries to hide the forum layout as much as possible. It doesn’t surprise me that it would work this way, as super stickies tend to really act like forum wide announcements than as stickies. That being said, showing them in a forum that’s already halfway hidden is a little redundant.
bbPress really does work much differently than your typical forum, and it takes a little massaging to make it feel like phpBB or vBulletin.
I think I may try to tackle this plugin when I have more time, because I find myself wanting it more and more.
I guess I come from the old school, where a webpage is basically just a snazzy interface for a database, so the interface should allow for any kind of manipulation of the database that you’d need, and only stop you from doing something silly. 
The title of this post made me chuckle, so I had to chime in.
If worse really comes to worse, I am willing to assist on a more personal level. I can’t ethically advertise myself or my services here, but if you can google your way into contacting me outside of bbPress.org, I’d do my best to help you.
…And Joomla, blech…
Check your wp-config.php file, and search for “$table_prefix”
I’ve got $5 that says you accidentally typed “ltvwff” next to it.
I think the best bet would be to block the inappropriate ones. 
Add to .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(.+.)?crazy-porn-site.com/ [NC,OR]
Care to share in case anyone has a similar issue?

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but if you check out http://www.delsolownersclub.com/forums/, the links for the feeds from WordPress seem to point exactly where they should.
The only problem that I had personally was using wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); in my wordpress functions.php file. I replaced it with
if (!defined('BB_PATH')) {
wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
}
And all is well again.
Well, I think that with 1.0a6 it works, because I’m using it with deep integration and it seems to be working just fine. The order that they’re loaded in could be an issue however, as I’ve experienced some issues that I haven’t been able to troubleshoot effectively yet.
@Tiago
How did you ditch the WordPress comment system and link the comments to a specific forum topic? Is this an automated process or a clever use of custom fields?
But why would you ever do such a thing?!
@Steve
Still sounds like a cookie issue. I would retrace your steps, make sure you’ve got the WordPress Integration plugin installed on the WordPress side of this. Make sure you’ve added all of the cookie info to your config files as specified, etc…
In my opinion, for usabilities sake, it may make sense to route your log ins and registrations through 1 platform anyhow.
I get the feeling that this has more to do with slugs and attempted auto renaming and assignments than it does with hardcoding the value into each file, but hardcoding it works for now and brings the capability back.
Looks like a few changes might be needed unless I’m missing something along the way…
This makes the favorites load properly for me.
includes/functions.bb-users.php
line 221
FROM
if ( !empty($user->favorites) ) {
TO
if ( !empty($user->bb_favorites) ) {
includes/class.bb-query
line 442
FROM
$where .= $this->parse_value( 't.topic_id', $f_user->favorites );
TO
$where .= $this->parse_value( 't.topic_id', $f_user->bb_favorites );
line 559
FROM
$where .= $this->parse_value( 'p.topic_id', $f_user->favorites );
TO
$where .= $this->parse_value( 'p.topic_id', $f_user->bb_favorites );
Basically, there are a few other places where $user->favorites needs to be changed to $user->bb_favorites.
So, I’ve got it up and working from doing the above. I’ve never needed to commit a change to the trac before. Should I just open a ticket, or can I change it directly?
Good call. That alleviates one problem.
On to the next… Now all of the JavaScript loads properly and when clicking the “add to favorites” link, the ajax kicks in and works as per normal and makes it look like the link was added. The link actually shows in the database as a favorite, but the theme fails to load them correctly.
I’ve tested this on the stock template also with the same results.
Removing the WordPress integration from the bb-config.php file brings everything back and they work just fine. Comparing with WinMerge the source of the same page with and without that integration, they are identical. So somewhere something is getting in the way.
I am using the same plug-in and am doing exactly as Chris has recommended. Note that the user will not be assigned a role on the bbPress side until they actually visit the forums, because WordPress has no way to know that bbPress needs an additional capability.
I’ve thought about trying to port the plugin over to the bbPress side, but things seem to be working as they are right now and no one has complained about it yet.
Snip! Nevermind I see how it works…
Using the method above, a new user registering in WordPress is given the proper role/capability in bbPress. So far this appears to be the best integration yet. I will of course do more testing, but so far so good!
Note: This also proves compatible with the WordPress “Register Plus” plugin.
As of today, Alpha6 is still not in the download link.
This method above is what I used to upgrade to alpha6. Have not tested new users yet however.
Hahah… Well, the idea behind bbPress is not to install things like this within the core. This way forum administrators aren’t bogged down with the extra weight of a series of functions that they never intend to use; a less is more approach.
There is also a plug-in that provides this exact functionality in the extend area.
Should I be concerned that the zip file still is named alpha5?
Just updated a few little things.
There’s stuff that still needs tweaking, but otherwise I consider this a fully integrated install with custom template and heavily modified via plug-ins.
Even though that error is there, if you change their role from “Inactive” to “Member” the error will go away and the user will have member access.
Forum isn’t dead, just high maintenance for right now.
Where is this discussion taking place? I’m always game for a good discussion!
