Is shared logins the only benefit?

Can bbpress use any of the wordpress plugins?

What are some of the practical benefits of integrating a blog with a forum?

Can you make the comments from wordpress go directly to the forum? Not just appear in the forum but ONLY appear in the forum?

My wordpress blog is http://300.mpm.org.au, a community charity illustration blog but I’d like the community aspect of the commenting system to be part of our forums with all our other forum topics/projects at http://www.mpm.org.au.

Ideally I would like the root of our site (http://www.mpm.org.au) to use something relatively simple like Nulls BBportal to pull and display open forum topics from a couple of specific categories (in our forums case our ‘newsfront’ category and our company specific category) and then have our wordpress blog also linked into the forums from a subdomain.
