I originally used WordPress for my blog but now I use bbPress for my blog. I have no plans on ever installing WordPress again since bbPress acts as my blog while functioning like a forum.

If bbPress was formed into a plugin instead of a standalone script, I will continue using it and do me and my team will do our own coding/bug fixes.

Yes, with the bbPress Attachments plugin:

I don’t get it. bbPress is open source and under the GNU GPL license. If the current teams stops developing it I’m sure somebody may pick it up. I for one won’t stop using it even if me or my co-workers have to code our own bug fixes.

Thanks for the feedback and the link to the plugin but I don’t want it to look or feel like a blog, just act like a blog. I prefer the thread/post structure over the entry/comment structure. I was originally using WordPress and had a MyBB forum on the same site, then I switched over to just a MyBB forum with a Blog plugin, but then found that bbPress felt like both a blog and forum without requiring different installations to achieve both. I just created certain categories that only I could post in (the “My” areas) for my “blog areas” and the rest are open for free discussion.

I am working on getting the first post of the latest topic to appear on the front page but I have to many other development projects on my plate at the moment.
