If/when you do you can create a ticket/bug here

I’ll setup a WP MU bbPress 2.1 install tomorrow and see what I can find.
Cheers,

Have you tried recounting/repair the forums via /wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-repair

A ‘Forum’ will contain topics, whereas a ‘Category’ contains forums.
You might have a category ‘Open Source Software’ and then have forums ‘WordPress’ and ‘bbPress’ in that category.
Status – Yes, a ‘closed’ topic is still visable just no more replies can be posted to that topic.
Visibilty:
Public – Anyone can see these forums
Private: Only logged in registered users can see these forums
Hidden: Only Moderators/Admins can see these forums
And also https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/
For ‘friend connections’ as such you would need some kind of plugin like BuddyPress to handle the extensions to the user profile.
You could also have a look at the new BuddyPress 1.6 beta 2
https://buddypress.org/2012/07/buddypress-1-6-beta-2/
The easiest way would then be to export your data to a CSV file (or other flat file format) and setup a MySQL database to match your current user data fields, import that data and customize the bbPress import template to match.

Have you tried ‘Repair Forums’? (via /wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-repair)
If that doesn’t fix can you post the URL to the site so we can take a look.
Each forum has an ‘order’ attribute in the ‘Forum Attributes’ and the forum list widget should display the forums in that order.
Sorry, posted the wrong link 
though it is still useful:

The current state of bbPress language translations are here:

Doug, the docs are indeed a work in progress and now that 2.1 has been released hopefully we can get some more people to help update said docs.
bbPress 2.1 includes a conversion tool to import forums/topics/replies/users from some of the popular forum packages eg. bbPress or phpBB
There is an ‘example’ file also included as a ‘reference template’ that if your 10,000 users are in a MySQL database then you could easily modify this to be a custom importer by matching the correct database tables/fields etc
The file is called ‘example.php’ and is located in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-admin/converters
“WordPress does not support a bilingual or multilingual blog out-of-the-box. There are however Plugins developed by the WordPress community which will allow you to create a multilingual blog easily.”
https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress_in_Your_Language
As Anointed points out bbConverter is no longer being maintained but the code was used as the base for the freshly pressed bbPress v2.1 with many improvements to the conversion process.

That said though, I have not tested the Invision import process, only bbPress & phpBB but you could definitely try the import with bbPress 2.1 and let us know how it goes
bbPress by design explicitly blocks ALL short codes from functioning (except built in bbPress short codes) thus I presume why someone decided to create whitelist plugin.
I have nothing to do with any of the plugins I mentioned above, it was the only option I could think of to help you out after looking at your site, sorry it doesn’t work for you.
bbPress out of the box will not support [shortcodes] so JW Player will not work in forum posts.
If you want to enable [shortcodes] in bbPress topics & replies then give this a try.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress2-shortcode-whitelist/
And then install a ‘whitelist supported’ video player eg.

Currently you have created a ‘parent’ forum called ‘forums’ and then added each of your forums (General, Humour, Bookshelf etc) as a ‘child’ of that parent.
If you remove the top level ‘forums’ forum you will achieve the outcome you are looking for.
To test this before deleting it go into each of your forums and in the ‘Forum Attributes’ change the ‘Parent’ to ‘No Parent’ and click update .
The page /forums is a generic page part of bbPress.
You can create your own page/s and use the bbPress Shortcodes
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes
Go to Appearance > Pages and give it a title (Discussion, The Teams, Leagues etc)
Then in the content of that page use the bbPress shortcodes with how and what you want on that page.
This for example would show what you currently have on /forums plus add the ‘new topic form’ below that list.
[bbp-forum-index]
[bbp-topic-form]
You could also create a page called ‘New Topic’ and just have [bbp-topic-form] on that page and then using the same method from Jarad above add those pages as menu items.
Head on over to http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org and have a read of the links there.

As you stated
…uncheck the “Prefix your forum area with the Forum Base slug” box..
That will give you mysite.com/forum/forum-name
i.e. NOT /forums/ but the value you give the ‘forum slug’
These codes eg. “:twwr5fiw” are NOT added by the converter, they are actually in the raw phpbb database tables, phpbb strips these codes before rendering on the page display.
The converter is copying the content correctly and in essence before running the converter you need to strip these from your phpbb installation first.
I haven’t found an easy way to do this yet but that is what stage I am up to before trying my next conversion. More info can be found by looking around phpbb.com for “Magic URL” & “Short URL” though I haven’t found much that could actually help us out here. It looks like I will try replacing the eg. “:twwr5fiw” & “<! — m –>” info manually with search and replace SQL Update queries directly into the phpbb database tables before conversion.
