Yes it uses the same DB and is safe, take a look at this thread regarding performance for starters:
bbPress for Millions of posts?
Yes, some themes support bbPress or you can roll your own see https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/ for starters.
Set the forums base slug to the same as your page slug and your custom WP page with shortcodes should take precedence.
From https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/
Register URI: Link to your custom signup page eg. A WordPress page using the [bbp-register] shortcode.
Lost Password URI: Link to your lost-password page eg. A WordPress page using the [bbp-lost-pass] shortcode.
I just published that FAQ and linked to it from the main page:

Firstly if you only see bbPress as a WordPress integrated forum software package in the traditional sense of what other forum software looks like then please step outside of that box, it is far more flexible and powerful than just that.
Take a look at how PostDesk have uniquely integrated forums into their site and check out in particular the ‘featured sites’ at https://bbpress.org/about/examples/ showing what can be accomplished with theming in bbPress.
That all said, I also see merit in having the option of a traditional forums hierarchical category sub-category forum layout for those who do want that feature/layout option available.
I have a few ideas already and would love to hear your ideas and feedback.
Cheers,
Stephen aka @netweb
Try refreshing your permalinks /wp-admin/options-permalink.php by changing them to a different setting from what you currently use, save, then change them back to your preferred preference and save again.

As your question is specific to the ‘bbPress Rating-Widget’ please use the plugin support forum:
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/rating-widget
When you create the ‘forum you can assign the following permissions to each forum:
Public – Anyone can see these forums

Looks good, thanks for sharing your site
Sure jump into #bbpress on irc.freenode.net
If you disable ALL your other WordPress plugins then activate bbPress do you still the 500 error?
You will need to copy the templates into a subdirectory of your theme
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/
Take a look in form-reply.php/form-topic.php/form-forum.php templates.
If your going to edit any of these I suggest you copy them to your theme folder so you don’t edit the core files and will not lose any custumizations you get bbPress updates.
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/
@capsx Those are phpBB ‘magic_url’ and phpBB by default will truncate/shorten all URL’s to 55 characters. It does this so there are not extremely long URL’s in posts. eg. This URL is 63 characters in length, phpBB will leave the ‘href’ in tact but shorten the displayed URL to 55 characters.
<a href="http://www.example.com/directory/directory/directory/directory/">http://www.example.com/directory/directo ... directory/</a>
phpBB SQL DB stores this in the posts table with the following code
<!-- m --><a href="http://www.example.com/directory/directory/directory/directory/">http://www.example.com/directory/directo ... directory/</a><!-- m -->
There is more info on ‘magic_url’ here and here.
Thanks for posting your example code above.You may also want to look at https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1884

Here it is here for me http://imgur.com/a/mW7LM#3
WordPress 3.4.1 – bbPress 2.1.2 – bbPress WP Tweaks 1.2
Do you have any other plugins enabled or custom funtcions for your theme that could be conflicting?
Thanks, very happy it went well for you (and us?)
- Obviously my vB was set up with a ton of permissions we now dont have.
At this stage that would be quite tough to migrate those 😉
- Also not sure if deliberate, but forums that were childed are now not and I had to spend an hour re-organising all the forums.
It is a ‘known issue’ also with phpBB, hopefully in the future we can fix this.
Give this plugin a try if you only want to do some CSS tweaks.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-custom-css-file/
If you do want to go down the custom templates route https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/
Don’t copy any templates into any of the bbPress plugin folders (/wp-content/plugins/bbpress)
The details of what to do are here: https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/
@DevArthran There has since been another update and unless you downloaded the version you are using from the ‘SVN Trunk’ you wont have the latest patches.
You can download an updated version of bbp-user-functions.php (4141) which has worked for a few others it will be in the next update of bbPress.
It would also be great to get some feedback on the vBulletin import as we have had very little feedback thus far from anyone migrating from vBulletin to bbPress.
