Is it possible to use a traditional forum with buddypress instead of bbpress or would it not integrate well ?

or is it possible to make bbpress work like a traditional forum with plugins, with the easy to read/find theards, read/unread posts, polls, moderation features, Reputation, rating, User Promotions
position (admin, mod, ext) Warning System, ext.

or if there a theme to work better with bbpress

not sure why you say bbpress is not traditional it has plugins and works basically the same as any other forum. i have not had much luck in the past (granted it was 2 years ago) integrating other site wide forum software with buddypress

Because traditional forums, have a lot more features to them take mybb for example.
