It is supported, and will continue to grow. It will eventually become a canonical plugin for WordPress. 
I also thought so at first, but I really love this software – so I’m sticking with it, no matter what.
Hi Michael, Thanks I will check out the link. I hate to spend a lot of time developing a forum that is not supported. That would be sad because I am a real big fan of WordPress.

Just a note that I downloaded this and installed on bbPress 1.0.2, it worked perfectly.
Thanks for this!
bbPress is planned to go ahead with version 1.1 soon.
Follow this thread for more info: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/whats-happening-with-bbpress
You can also have a look at the blog for updates.
I just read this at the following URL, http://bbshowcase.org/forums/. I am not sure what it means or I may be behind the times. Can someone explain the status of bbPress to me and for those of us currently working with it.
” The bbPress Showcase has been discontinued.
The removal of Sam Bauers and the halting of bbpress.org 2.0
was a clear and final sign that there is no interest in allowing
bbPress to become a mature, robust program and community.
By now bbPress 1.5 could have been in alpha but instead
bbPress development has been deliberately stagnated,
which should be a very alarming warning to everyone.
In addition, bbShowcase had only six donations in 2009,
which indicated to me there was no interest in my work.
My code will remain on bbpress.org as open source GPL
for those that wish to use it, however I caution you to
consider bbPress’s lack of leadership before continuing to use it. “
Thanks and I appreciate the update.

@Chris: Whoops – should’ve noticed – my bad…
it’s a great theme, luv it !
Hi,
I’ve got a site I created with html. I’d like to add a bulletin board to it without redesigning the site using WordPress. How do I do this?
Thanks,
Brettha
Sorry that should have been directed at citizenkeith:
“_ck_’s bbpress signatures and BBcode Buttons Toolbar plugins”
I just wanted to look at those two plugins and didn’t really feel like searching for them.
I said I don’t have another one. I am using _ck_’s one. As far as I know, there is no other signature component out there for bbPress.
Here is a list of the tables that are created in 1.0. Here I changed the table prefix from bb_ to bbpress_:
http://chrishajer.com/bbpress/bbpress-tables.png
Those are the tables that need to be dropped to start the installation over. You don’t need to delete any files at all.
No, you delete all the database tables that have the prefix of bb_. You’re not deleting the files in the filesystem at all. Database tables, not files. The installer checks for those tables, and if they’re present, it suggests you upgrade instead of install. If you remove the tables, bbPress will continue with the installer.
Michael, do you have links to both plugins you’re using so I can download them and take a look?
So I delete all files that start with bb_ ?
Am I just uninstalling bbpress?
I don’t know of one – and I don’t think there is another one at all.
@all:
Are there any other signature plugins aside from the one _ck_ created?
Am curious how others might handle signatures…
Not sure if you are using this or not (I don’t think so because ‘Sticky’ shows) but try the bb-topic icon plugin (https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-topic-icons/)
With the new version you can select your own icons!
Hi,
We have setup WPMU 2.8.6 integrating with bbpress 1.0.2.
Integration is working 100% for newly created users, logging in via the main site and browsing to the forums – the user is able to post, etc.
However, some users have been added via the back-end and we used to have a plugin installed that disabled activation. If you login with one of these users credentials on the main site and browse over to the forums you are unable to post (it just reloads the main forums page when you click on reply or post); if you login directly on the forums with the user details he is able to post.
Any comments on how we might be able to rectify the issue would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance
Thanks Ben. That certainly helps.
I’m hoping there might be another way to truly load bbpress signatures last, so I won’t mark this “resolved” yet.
I followed gerikg’s instructions & all seems well, except, when I log into bbPress, then go to WPMU it appears as if I’m logged in. Until I try to admin the site, then & have to log in again. Seems to be that a cookie is not being set.
Thanks! I an now following him on twitter and will keep my ears open for any news. In the meantime, back to bbPress.
Bozo is used to describe spammers.
Voices is the number of individual members of the forum that have posted on a thread.
A view is a list of topics that fit into a category, like topics with no replies and topics with no tags.
“Halting installation!” is used when an error is encountered and is (as far as I know) the last thing that shows up in the log.
The REQUEST_URI and PATH_INFO don’t look like they should be translated, but they are used in a debug message.
XAMPP on local machine, here is one line of several that appear at top of bbpress login page after installation was apparently completed successfully.
Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:xampphtdocsbbpressbbpressbb-settings.php on line 186
and when I try to log in a bunch more error messages. XAMPP works fine with wordpress by the way.
Thanks, Roger
Thanks, good to know. Issue is that I’m using Buddypress so I can’t access the BBpress admin to activate BBpress-specific plugins (so far as I know). So I think I need to go into php and edit it directly.
