Wordpress, see bbPress
Posted by nitestrike in : Dev , trackback
I’ve finally gone and done it… I’ve found what I’ve been looking for. Automatic has gone and developed another project, bbPress, that can be used with Wordpress. Right now I am testing it out in it’s own space.
bbPress
Forum software is notorious for being bloated and insecure, and bbPress is pretty much everything most modern forum software is not. Sharing the same philosophical roots with WordPress, the most prominent installation of bbPress is the WP support forums themselves, which have hundreds of thousands of posts yet still are as speedy as can be. All the features you need — like tags, AJAX posting, categorization, modular user system — and nothing you don’t.
Some of Automattic’s other projects are WordPress.com, a free hosting service of WordPress using WordpressMU. MU is a multi-user version developed with hosting services in mind, it has limited functionality due to the environment it is used for. In addition they have developed Akismet, a program to help fight off spam.
