I use the following four way spam stopper:
Approve User Registration
bbCaptcha
Akismet
Human Test for bbPress
We have had minimum issues at our bbpress forums
I’ve been using it for years to block spam registrations on my forum. However, over the last couple of months it’s become effectively useless. There are bots out there now that defeat it easily. My forum now gets multiple spam registrations per hour and it’s impossible to keep up with. I’ve had no choice but to disable registration completely and tell people to email me instead. 
What are people doing currently to block spam registrations to bbPress forums?
You won’t need to. The plugin will handle it for you, provided the data lives in the same database.

I suspect it is a trac issue. I had the same with buddypress from there. I’m guessing I must have changed the permissions like you say, whilst I was doing something else.
Never mind 
possibly caused by downloading via Trac, I’d leave it and see what happens when it gets released as a plugin on WordPress.org
I was having the same problem as ch8rt in regards to installing on osx with a similar setup.
It turns out that bbpress.php has its file permissions set to “No Access” upon install for all other users. In fact all files seems to be installing with “No Access”, something I have yet to see happen in any other WP plugin on my local install. Perhaps something to look into for future installs?

Hello i’m back after a while..
Is there any way i can see this ‘new’ bbPress plugin in action?
I would like to know how things are going with this plugin-idea. I saw something on the forum that bbPress stand-alone will get one last update before they will put it in the ground.
But I dont know how to do it a “database level”

Probably better to recode and take advantage of what is available in WordPress.
I’m just waiting for the akismet one to be written 
I have followed the procedure in the readme.txt, default avatar is displayed in the post and in profile, but I can not change it when I click the Upload Avatar, so I diverted to the home page forum (translate by google tranaslate O )
Sadly no. The bbPress plugin for WordPress is a complete rewrite of bbPress from the ground up to fit inside of WordPress.
If anyone wanted to step up and write some kind of compatibility code would be neat, but it’s unlikely to ever happen and isn’t on the roadmap is it stands today.
Thank you John!
A last question : can I plug plugins from https://bbpress.org/plugins/
into this bbpress wordpress plugin ? Can I use the bbRating one for example ?
This will be possible to do in the bbPress plugin for WordPress. There are no plans to explicitly support this in the currently downloadable stand-alone version, although you could definitely query the DB manually and sort topics by title.

Original post updated with progress on various parts.
@luminis – bbPress should follow the language that your WordPress installation is, however there currently aren’t any language packs that I know of. To change the various things in your theme, you’ll want to create a new theme that you can modify safely. The easiest way to do that is to copy the bbp-twentyten folder out of /bbp-themes and into your /wp-content/themes/ folder, rename it, and edit the name of your new theme in style.css so that you don’t get the two confused. Your # 3 can be found in form-bbp_topic.php, and # 4 would require a helper plugin to hook into ‘bbp_is_user_subscribed’ and adjust the default value.
A conversion script will be bundled with the plugin, however since bbPress doesn’t come with an export tool, it will probably happen at the database level and not via an XML import/export.

I have a error upload failed I have a solution for this but I don’t understand this :
“if you get error: denied mime on every upload, mime_content_type function or shell access must exist to verify mime types – otherwise you can force all types to be allowed by editing bb-attachments.php and adding ‘application/octet-stream’ to each of the $bb_attachments”
Where this attachment are saving in what folder ?
Hello, thanks for this great plugin! Really the one I was looking for after trying every forum software there.
I’ve got some questions if you could help me :
1. How can I add bbpress plugin to this plugin ? Is it possible ?
2. How can I change the language ?
3. When the user isn’t logged in, he will get that message after the forums : “Sorry! You must be logged in to create new topics.”
How can I change this text ? I’d like to tell the user “You can register here” instead.
4. Last, how to make the option “Notify me of follow-ups via email” it checked by default ?
Thanks!
