Hi @metalweb. Are you trying to create a stand alone forum with no group forums? I actually wrote a blog post yesterday that outlines how we made them work together with the stand alone version of bbPress and used “site wide” forums. – http://www.26am.com/blog/2011/12/22/buddypress-and-bbpress-making-them-play-together/
Hope that helps! Post back if you need more help.
