I like what I’ve seen so far with bbPress, but I’m not so sure I need/want BuddyPress. Can I run bbPress without it? What would I give up in the way of functionality? (I’m trying to create a community, not a Facebook clone.)

bbpress works fine without buddypress – I don’t use buddypress on any of my sites

Can you link me to some examples? I’m still trying to figure out what parts are BuddyPress and which ones are bbPress.

[Robin W]

sorry this is a free plugin supported by volunteers for free – you’ll need to figure that out yourself 🙂

No, I mean, can you link me to some forums that are using just bbPress, so that I can look at them to see the differences?

[Robin W]

um, this one 🙂

[maryreyes]

So no BuddyPress here, just bbPress?

And can you tell me what theme this forum uses?
