BuddyPress does have forums (you’re using them on your site . It’s one of the standard set of plugins, called bp-forums. Accessible when you create a Group. I’d like to create a ‘Support’ Group where people are directed to for user-to-user support. I could use bbPress, but it seems like it’s adding yet another application to manage.

If the BP group forums are intended to scale well, it seems easier for my needs to run the BP group forums rather than bbPress.
