BuddyPress.org

2. there’s already integration with BBpress

Why does everybody want to use Buddypress as a forum? What’s the point of having a blogs and groups-based social network if you’re still going to put an old-fashioned forum at the center?

Can someone (Auttommatttic?) please write a basic social networking plugin for BBpress, expanding the user account pages in BBpress a bit, so people don’t have to come over here asking to turn Buddypress into something lame?
