From my early experiments it looks like to post in the forums you’ve got to join a group. Is there a way to have general purpose forums outside of any group? I’d still like group forums I’d just also like some ‘public’ areas for all members to post in.

Nope, this isn’t possible at the moment. With a bit of template and filter wizardry, you could designate a single group as the “public forum” group and then use bp_has_groups( ‘slug=’ . $group_slug ) to display that group in a more forum-ish way.

Thanks for the quick response. Just found out I can’t create a group either, might have a bigger problem than I realized…
