bbPress is an open source light weight internet forum package. bbPress is developed by the same people as WordPress. It is designed to be powerful, fast, and easy to use.

Features[edit]

bbPress has a templating system similar to that of WordPress, which includes themes that can be installed and switched between. The code that comprises the themes can also be edited for more advanced customizations. bbPress can integrate itself with WordPress upon installation. bbPress uses a similar link management system as WordPress.
