So, my current theme is setup with a right and left side bar. When I tried to setup bbPress it just did not seem to layout right. Is it possible to some how use a more open theme for just the forums?
When creating a new forum there does not seem to be an option for theme like there is on a Page creation.
Any advice?

You might want to look at a plugin called Impact https://wordpress.org/plugins/impact-template-editor/
It lets you create individual page layouts mostly independent of theme options. You should be able to make it look however you would like.

I’m having the same issue. I designed the client’s site using Impact Page Builder. But when I use bbPress to set up forums, the option to assign an Impact template is not there. Therefore, the forum looks like this: http://northidahocvma.org/forums/forum/forum-2?preview=true&preview_id=607&preview_nonce=7b2aed77ba
Instead of having the Impact styling like this: http://northidahocvma.org/
I’m using the latest versions of both WordPress & bbPress with Twenty Twelve theme. Any other suggestions?
