BuddyPress.org

Hello,

Sorry if this question is already answered, if that is the case I wasn’t able to find it.

From now on I will use budypress in my site. BUT regardless of all Budypress features the most important piece (asset) of the site will be the sitewide forum and I would like to protect it as much as possible.
For this reason I want to keep my forum installation safe even tough I have future problems with buddypress and need to un-install it. I am not interested in group forums at all, I will only have sitewide forum enabled. So my questions are:

1. In which sequence should I install bbpress; bbpress plugin and then buddypress plugin or the opposite?

2. If I install buddypress first then, at the moment of activating sitewide forums, buddypress will install bbpress. What would happen if I have to de-activate the buddypress install? would the bbpress forum attached to BP be de-activated too or it would keep working alone?

Thank you for your time,
Luciano
