BuddyPress.org

Aren’t there loads of plugins for these types of features?

All these feature request threads start to get on my nerves – I should cut back on coffee… – when I’m still wasting way too much time trying to fix basic core management and usability issues in my sites.

And forums shouldn’t even be in Buddypress at all imho. It’s an older generation web community format that clashes with the new social networking paradigms. BP should focus on groups and (micro)blogging and turn that into a solid and coherent platform, not get sidetracked by forums and all these generic feature requests.
