Hi JJJ,
As always, I appreciate you stopping by
I have not at any time here solicited people to leave bbPress, and 99% of my conversations about this topic have taken place away from this forum, and for the most part, over the last 2-2.5 months.
I refute entirely the statement that I’m attempting to “fragment the already small community” or do anything in “bad taste”. While I’m a vocal son-of-a-gun at times, I think my record for attempting to support bbPress, this forum, and it’s community over the last 2 years will stand up to some scrutiny.
In fact, my initial post was simply a link to another website on which the discussion could take place. I had, and have, no intention of parking the discussion here. I did take time to reply to people as a courtesy. To me, it’s just being mannerly, but I apologise if it’s been wrongly viewed in a different way.
I never intended this thread to cause any issues, I included a link to a website for people that might be interested, and I’ve only replied to folks who have commented here of their own volition (never having sought their comments in these forums). I’ve tried to be courteous and succinct, though I have failings at both, directly e-mailing people whose contact details have been available so that I could keep the chatter here down.
Could I ask if a moderator would be as kind as to lock this thread?
Thank you.

If you’re going to fork it, call it something new and fork it.
I totally agree with you bro
What’s your WordPress plug-in that’s not a continuation of the bbPress0.9/1/ branches going to be called?
Always happy for more Blue Sky thinking.
Widgets, and easy theming, are definitely points I would like to discuss in detail further down the line. I absolutely believe that the theme should just deal with simple presentation, and this ties in with that nicely.
Custom post types is actually very simple, and has already been factored in to a certain extent.
WordPress integration is crucial
No, it’s not
And nor is it going to be a goal of the software.
WordPress is getting it’s own forum software, and I’m sure that will work really well, and meet the needs of many.
What will be happening is that people can extend the user or login classes so that external systems can be tied into the software (MediaWiki, Drupal, WordPress etc).
it’s really “I want to manage a bbPress fork. Here’s my feature wishlist. Who wants to code it?”
Haha, thanks for telling people what I actually meant Paul, but I’m a half (quarter?) decent developer. Not as good as some of the great developers we have around here already, but but i’m more than happy to get my hands dirty when needed.
Right now, we’ve alot of exceptionally talented Developers, and not so much in the PM/BA department, and I’m merely trying to fill the gap I can be most helpful in. Apologies to all those that my document offended enough to take pot-shots at the language used.
It’s a high level effort of one person to kick start something bigger than himself, if its all the same with yourself, i’ll hold off on the low level fine tuning for quite some time, even though you raise some interesting points.
We’ve a software to save
Hi Paul,
Just so you know, if you areusing the bbpress plugin that works with buddy press, then you’re not using bbpress.
It’s a fork from last years release hacked to work with buddypress. That’s not to say bad things about it though, how it was done was really great, it’s just confusing.
Don worry though, they’re making a new wordpress plugin that’s not this software or the buddypress plugin, and they’re going to call that bbpress too. At thy time, we’ll all b confused
It depends on what you’re after.
If your forum needs a specific Mobile version, then you’ll need to scout around.
If your forum needs a specific mobile stylesheet/theme, then creating one for bbPress is very simple, but there isn’t a public one out there that I know of.
Forums are tricky things. Worth it, but tricky.
Define your requirements, whats a must have and a nice to have, and you can make a decision alot easier that way
