@jerledb – Login/register are supported via page templates, there is a login widget, and eventually shortcodes too. A register widget is a nice idea but leads way to lost-password and activation widgets, none of which will make it into 2.0.
Spam isn’t really handled yet, since there’s no one spamming forums that don’t use software that isn’t released yet. 
There is a Trac ticket regarding Akismet integration, but either Akismet will need to be updated or a special version of Akismet to concentrate on post spam (which isn’t really a WordPress issue.)
Regarding IP addresses, there are WordPress plugins to help with this, and WordPress multisite comes with this kind of functionality baked in. Traditionally WordPress doesn’t handle spam at a user level, since registered users are typically already trusted to some regard. We run into this issue a little bit even here at bbpress.org. bbPress does log the IP address of every topic/reply that is created, so a plugin can use that to check against a ban list or something.

@telesoft – Lead post updated. There is no comparison chart, and nothing like that will happen until bbPress 2.0 launches.

I updated some of the verbiage and changed a few of the behaviors of the importer from bbS2P to being in core. It needs some heavy testing. This kind of data migration is not something that should be taken lightly, so let’s get it polished up for when 2.0 goes gold.

@smiga – I do not believe that was a feature in my theme but more like a feature in bbPress. After I updated bbPress I notice that feature was gone as well.

I’ve updated the script, the latest version can be found here which addresses the issues highlighted by jonkristian (replies not being displayed) and Rick (errors from plugins – turned debug option off by default, though it is recommended that you turn off all plugins) and some others too.
Rick: You should put only the bbs2p.php file in the root directory (where you have wp-config.php. Then change those lines to:
define( 'BBS2P_WP_PATH', '' ); /** With Trailing Slash, if required */
define( 'BBS2P_BB_PATH', 'forums/' ); /** With Trailing Slash, if required */
JJJ: I’m on that.

actually I’m not much for command line so I’m using TortoiseSVN. I have the repo on my machine, the problem is I develop on the server, not locally, so my local copy is pretty much never in sync with my server copy, since this isn’t my SVN where I can manage the deployments.
SVN is awesome but when I try to understand the deeper workings of it, my head wants to explode.
Would this workflow do the trick?
1. Checkout repo locally
2. Upload to WP on server
3. Do my thing, edit files, whatever.
4. End of each day (or whenever), download my edited files to my local copy.
5. Start of each day (or whenever), update my local copy.
6. Upload updated files to server copy.
7. Goto 3.
In my head that seems like it would work, which probably means it’s horribly flawed. LOL

@tooltrainer – I’d ask if you have this much going on, that you probably create your own topic to post things in. To be honest, I can’t really keep up with everything you’re trying to do, so I don’t really know what to tell you.
I’d suggest just starting completely over from scratch, and comparing the two installs to see what’s different.
@Rick – Even if you get your old forums converted into the new plugin, BuddyPress still hasn’t been updated to integrate with the plugin version of bbPress, so your group forums either need to stay how they are, or you need to build what eventually will be in BuddyPress core.
OK I’m seriously stumped now. I just blew away my copy of WP an installed a totally fresh one, updated to 3.1.2, in a subdirectory called “new”. Uploaded latest bbp 3145 and activated it. Created a forum, tried to visit /new/forums/ and was immediately redirected to domain.com/forums/ instead of ending up at domain.com/new/forums/ as expected. Is this a bug of having bbp in a subdirectory?
So I changed my permalinks again to /%postname%/ and now I’m not redirected anywhere unexpected, but when I end up at /new/forums/ I get the same page not found error.
This is using the included 2010 bbP theme and stock EVERYTHING except for disabling the “Prefix the root slug before the following slugs?” feature.
What gives? I feel like I’m losing my mind or something… this is normally the simplest thing in the world!

@tooltrainer – that’s the price you pay for having something so customized. In the future any custom plugins won’t be able to drop in, and will all need customization. You’re sacrificing ease of use to have something totally unique. You need to ask yourself if you want to keep babysitting your site whenever anything outside of your control gets updated, or if you can make things work with something you have less control over.
Regarding converting from stand alone to plugin, make sure you have a solid backup and restore plan incase something goes wrong.
Regarding theme comparability, bbPress defaults to using the page.php of your theme and replacing the title and the content with what bbPress expects to be there. If your custom theme has page.php all tricked out, you’ll want to find/hire a developer to show you how to bypass it.
Eventually we’ll have a codex here with examples, similar to codex.wordpress.org, until then it’s up to you early adopters to go hunting for solutions and post them up in the forums, for everyone to learn from. I’ve tried to dream up every possible way for things to be filtered and manipulated with this version of bbPress, so you should never need change anything in the core files.
Hah simultaneous post. It is a commercial theme, ProfitsTheme, that has had the twentyten bbP elements ripped out and put into it. I lovingly refer to it as FrankenTheme. 
But for the most part it’s working like a champ. Except for this…
It was working before just fine, then it didn’t so I updated to the latest trunk and re-integrated all my changes… then it worked great. Till today when it suddenly stopped again. Very confused…

Just put some finishing touches on breadcrumbs in theme compat. All that’s left to do is add the topic-tags to theme compat, and zero out the tickets in trac. Also updated the first post of this topic with status.
Some feedback (All errors in the backend):
– Pagination returns internal server error for replies.
– I cannot filter by topics in replies, works fine in topics.
– Date filtering also returns internal server error.
– Search replies also returns internal server error.
I did change the view on replies to list all of them, then i mass edited forcing the permalinks to get updated, that did not work.
But it works when editing each reply manually.
Jaja: The plugin in the WordPress Plugin repository has not yet been updated. You can svn checkout it via this link: http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/branches/plugin or click the download as zip archive link here.
@JJJ
Thanks,
This means i could download it tonight from this location?
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/
At this point it says: Last Updated: 2010-4-30
Does anyone have a hack or updated plugin that works with the new the http://youtu.be/ share url??
I use BBVideo, but I’ll take anything that works. Thanks!
How about you French-language folks provide a list of the English terms that don’t have an appropriate French equivalent, and provide the terminology you think it should have. Then the language files can be updated.
Would be faster than waiting for someone to get around to it.
