    Hello from California. For the last few years I have been involved in a number of causes including environmentalism, anti-discrimination and getting involved in politics. However environmentalism is one that that is true and dear to my heart. Every time I see the beaches, mountains or deserts covered with trash, I tend to get angry.

    Anyway, I have a small Wordpress Blog where I give out information to locals about how to live more sustainable lives, save money and be healthier. I was thinking of adding a BBPress forum to it. I had heard about this place so decided to check it out to see what it was about.

    Anyone here use BBPress?

    Welcome to the community, Ecoways. :)

    I have indeed heard of bbPress. It's a simple, light, and easy to manage forum script that is developed by the people at WordPress. It's definitely a viable option when it comes to creating a community that can be managed easily.

    Welcome to the AA community, Ecoways. :)

    I have never used bbPress myself.

    Hey Ecoways, welcome to AdminAddict.

    I, too have heard of bbPress (it's what they use on the WordPress.org support forum). It's a nice, lite forum alternative.

    A bit related, a bit not, but I've actually been looking into BuddyPress - BuddyPress.org
    Combined with WordPress MU (and perhaps bbPress, too) it would be a neat community/social-network solution. I love WordPress, so I'm sure I will love their other products.

    Anyways, enjoy your stay. :)

    Welcome to AdminAddict, I hope you enjoy yourself.

    BBPress looks okay, though, like Nick recommended, I also recommend BuddyPress.

    Whichever you decide to use, both are great softwares.

    Happy Posting.
