    Tamriel Foundry is a community fan site for the upcoming Elder Scrolls MMO. We have a quickly growing community of 1300 members and counting.

    The site features a number of customized BP templates and functions, and I’m really excited about what the some of the changes coming in BP 1.7 will mean for the site and our community (particularly the new user query).

    If you love developing with WordPress/bbPress/BuddyPress and if you love The Elder Scrolls, we are looking for a bit of help in the form of another web developer to join our team. If you like how the site is progressing and are interested in contributing to Tamriel Foundry, shoot me an email at admin@tamrielfoundry.com for more details!

    I’ve come across the Tamriel Foundry by chance one day, so pleased to learn it’s BuddyPress powered :)

    Thanks @djpaul, you guys really have built a fantastic platform. I’m still a novice when it comes to BP development, but the framework has slotted really nicely into the site, and all the social features (especially groups, which are mostly guilds for us) have been very popular!

    Awesome.. Really love how Tamriel Foundry loaded fast (lightweight) though the site carries more than one thousand active members.. I’ll try to suggest some friends to check Tamriel Foundry and see if they can help contribute something.. :)

    Hey @candeed, thanks for the compliment! I’ve worked hard to integrate BP into my theme as naturally as possible and to keep pages lightweight. However, I would definitely benefit from the advice and collaboration of someone who has more development experience. I hide it pretty well through constant research and lots of hard work, but I’m actually still a huge noob when it comes to this stuff. If you have any friends who are experienced developers and interested in ESO I would definitely like to get a chance to talk to them.

    I wanted to update this thread to show off the brand new WP/bbPress/BuddyPress parent theme that I created to serve as the new platform for Tamriel Foundry moving forward.

    After a month and a half of development, I’ve shipped it to the live site, and am using my extensive community as unwilling lab rats chasing after cheese and bugs through my Elder Scrolls themed social maze.

    I’m particularly happy with the theme functionality and performance so far, and I think it definitely has room to grow and improve further. Be sure to check it out and let me know what you think about my implementation of the BP environment!

    Just thought I’d update this to share the changes to TF lately. I’m running the latest versions of BuddyPress (1.7) and bbPress(2.3). Everything is running super smooth. Check out the site, and I hope it can give you some ideas or inspiration for your own communities :)
