Hi All,

From long time, I am wondering why bbPress uses 3 custom-posts?

As a developer, I would have used only 1 custom-posts i.e. for “topics”.

For “replies” I would have used “comments” (that comes bundled with any “post_type”.
For “forums” I would have used “Custom Taxonomy” (Hierarchical).

I feel 1 custom-post with comments and Custom Taxonomy would have been better.

Is there anything bbPress does which might not have been possible above way?

Thanks.

May be I choose wrong keywords to search.

I will continue there…
