@olaf, muchos appreciado senor, but I’ve already written my own workaround. Just more of a suggestion based on situations I’ve ran into, something to consider as a future feature to make it easier for those who aren’t at home with PHP.

The problem with simply truncating such a thing is you could wind up with a front page description of something like “The following forum is a good place to…” or something of the sort. I’ve looked at a lot of other bbPress sites in the last couple of months, and they all seem to be fairly out of the box setups, so I’m not so sure this is really widely being sought out, just something that would be fairly easy to implement and might aid in future scalability of bbPress installations.
