I just turned on the fancy new forums courtesy of the Push Button Labs OnePress Community framework. Click the link to check it out, and write some quick posts to test out the system.
I have always wanted a way to interact more with the readers of this blog, but didn’t like the disconnected feeling of forum systems. So, one of the first projects at Push Button Labs was to connect WordPress to phpBB. The first step was a simple skinning, common log in, and a set of widgets to display hot threads, etc. on the WordPress side. We will continue to add features to OnePress to facilitate creating communities.

There are any plans on extending the system to support other forum engines?

Probably bbPress, but no other plans. Actually phpBB 3.9, which is the only one we support is quite good. It is Open Source, which is the only kind of software we can support. We need to make sure we will always have access to the source code in case we need it. What are you looking for?
Oops. I meant version 3.0
The site is looking really great Jeff! I haven't had a chance to look at the OnePress Community sources yet, but it is on my short list. We're simply too busy over at GarageGames winning Frontline Awards with TGEA and stuff
“It is Open Source, which is the only kind of software we can support.”
That is an interesting statement. You know how I feel about Open Source technology!
