 * Hey all,
 * Since bbpress is an unloved child (at best), I was wondering: Are there any alternatives?
   What forum software are you guys using, and how well do they integrate with wp?

 * bbPress isn’t “an unloved child.” You’re using it right now. Clearly someone 
   loves it.
 * Honestly, I’d recommend using bbPress. There is an official bbPress plugin under
   development right now (too early to use, unfortunately), but [this video](http://wordpress.tv/2009/01/23/integrating-a-bbpress-forum-with-your-self-installed-wordpress/)
   will walk you through the integration process.

 * Okay, thanks for your feedback. Of course using bbPress would be the “convenient”
   solution, if it worked well. I’d rather not get into a discussion of bbPress’
   shortcomings and the problems I see with it in combination with WP. If it works
   for you guys, great, but it doesn’t suit me.
 * So I’d still be very interested to hear whether there are any other options that
   users have successfully used.

 * Check out css-tricks.com I believe there’s a screencast about intergrating a 
   forum in WP

 * bbPress is good but 1.0.2 has many bugs right now.
