A few months ago, I set up a bulletin board type system to go along with my Drum and Bugle Corps web site. I originally used phpBB, but I found a bit too difficult to customize and a bit too bloated for the kind of community driven web site I’m trying to create.
I recently decided to try bbPress since I was already using WordPress and there’s some level of integration between them. I used this script to import the phpBB data into bbPress.
Even though it’s still not quite 1.0 yet (it’s currently 0.73) It looks like bbPress is a good fit for I want to do.
