Re: Where is the bbpress forum?
In BuddyPress, forums reside in groups, so you need to create a group first and enable the discussion forum that way
If you think of how Facebook structures forums in fan pages, then you’ll have a better understanding of how bbPress works in BP:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/faqs/#forum
As always, you can test out how this functions on the BP test site:

If you’re looking simply for a traditional forum script, I would recommend something else altogether as BuddyPress does not offer a global admin interface to manage topics and posts for one thing.
If you’re interested in a forum component in BuddyPress that has an admin interface and other regular bbPress functionality, Brajesh Singh has created such a plugin (though it is a premium, paid one). I should also say I haven’t tested this plugin myself.
