Have you tried out this stats plugin? It gives stats on number of topics and posts and registered users… it’s really great:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/mini-stats/
Nothing is dead until it stops breathing and its heart stops beating, bbpress is opensource, if you like it as a forum and want it to continue then get coding, the wordpress codex says of opensource:
“open source – is simply programming code that can be read, viewed, modified, and distributed, by anyone who desires. …”
The next thing is promote it, if you have a blog do what I have done here: http://www.macmend.com/archives/114
If you just have a forum with no blog then use what I have done above as a sticky topic.
hmm why no stats plugin for bbpress?
Facebook connect would be very useful. I have about 600 facebook friends….unfortunately they don’t want to join my bbpress forum. They prefer my facebook group forums. That’s the problem. When I post a topic in my bbpress forum on my website only few people will reply. When I post the same topic on facebook some hundred people reply.
When I could offer them an easy login with facebook connect the chance that they would visit my forum more often would be higher. Thats why I need facebook connect.
Open-ID is something for developpers but not for simple facebook users.
There is no script I know of to migrate from IPB to bbPress.
There are themes available but finding them is a little difficult right now. They are scattered about, not in one central repository as with WordPress.
If you feel it’s a bug, I encourage you to open a ticket at http://trac.bbpress.org
hpguru, I would open a ticket at http://trac.bbpress.org
I’ve seen that here too. As moderator, I can see the link, but I can’t actually access it and it responds as you describe.
Michael, I have this one working in 1.0.2:

(not sure how long pastie links are good for)
I think I changed pre_post to post_text. And also, in that original post, the $1 is stripped out. That one had me puzzled for a while. Look closely at any of those posts with preg_replace in them and you can see two spaces in some places. That’s where the $1 should be.
Hi!
maybe it was already discussed, but it has occurred to me (as a newbie without programming skills)
we all know plugins need updating, or developing to make bbpress more functional
so, my idea is, instead of paying some developers privately to make our forums works, to fix this or that plugin,
it would be better to pay from this forum, to do it and they could package these plugins for everyone to share!
it was a sad news re _ck_ and donations.. or rather lack of them, but maybe my idea would work better?
we all need work done, and sometime we have to pay someone anyways, but at least this way community could benefit
Kind regards
Kris
Yo pondría el bloque de login en el sidebar, igual que en el theme de wp 
I would put login block in sidebar, as in wp theme
Akismet options page says show “This page is displayed moderators, or greater, in their capacity as the user level.”. Moderators can see bar Akismet stats in admin, but they were directed to the Forum homepage. Administrator has access to that normally.
I check my friend bbPress 1.0.2 forum. This is new forum, not from 0.9.0.6, i converted 0.9.0.4->1.0 etc. Friend install first time 1.0.2. 
But there same problem. Index.php in admin says 299 posts, posts.php says 302. This is bug.
I think too, this is a bug. It doesn’t affect user experience, only admin and moderators see this numbers. On statistics.php users see fine posts in this forums statistics. No wrong numbers there. Only in admin posts page wrong numbers and in topic +X more <– to admin and moderator. So i think, there is bug, may be bbPress version 1.1 fix them?
Just an update, I read elsewhere that this is deprecated in latest WP versions:
require_once dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/wp-blog-header.php';
This should be used instead:
require_once dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/wp-load.php';
I was happy with bbpress, but actually the only reason I was happy was because of the plugins of _ck_. Now that she is discontinuing the plugins, I feel that I have no choice but to move away from bbpress.
It’s a shame, but bbpress without plugins is pretty useless for me.
This is so annoying guys 
What’s the cleanest solution to this, for WP 2.8.6 installed in / and bbPress 1.0.2 installed in /forum/ ?
Thanks very much, indexing is vital to me.
just discovered bbpress. really like it.
is there a migration path from invision?
are there themes available out of the box?
Hey folks,
Just ported a WordPress theme (which is here) to bbPress (which is here).
It is a spanish website of my client named Severus Online Club, so just wanted to share it.
All suggestions are welcomed.
It is 2100 GMT which is 4:00 PM Eastern this week, on Wednesday.
Now I’m in a pickle. I cannot visibly see an admin screen for bbpress and therefore I can’t login to try to make changes. I did add this path in bb-config
$bb->uri = ‘http://your-domain-name.com/forum-path/’;
(after key codes) and it’s done nothing. My folder in file manager has been changed from bbpress to forum. I tried to change it back but because I can’t get into bbpress admin I can’t change the admin link. Right now I’d be happy to go back to bbpress and not forum and believe you me when I say I’ll become backup queen.
Can anyone please help?!!
Thanks for your suggestion. However I did everything like you said and now I can’t log back into admin of bbpress. It appears that that process didn’t work! Now I’ve created a problem. I’ll start looking through the forums for an answer to this. Ugh.
Also looking for a solution to this. Have wp & bb integrated beautifully, but the current forum shows up erroneously in my primary nav menu.
Example; a level 2 forum page, highlights the 2nd wp site page in the primary nav menu.
This is basically is my last snafu before publishing with bbpress active! I’m so excited!
Any solutions to this? I’m no .htaccess wizard, and regex freaks me out even more haha.
