Why isn’t bbpress just WordPress with a slightly different ‘loop’ ?
The only differences between a ‘blog’ and a ‘forum’ I can see are:
- Posts are ordered by last comment, not by original posting date
- Database remembers the last comment you have seen for each post
Otherwise, are there any basic code differences? (“Forums” just become “Categories” so that should just be window-dressing, not code.) Why can’t we build bbpress right into WordPress as-is?
