    Just looking for anyone's thoughts on the pros/cons of using these different forum plugins:

    Simple:Press http://simplepressforum.com/
    VS.
    OnePress http://onepresscommunity.com
    VS.
    bbPress http://bbpress.org/

    Thanks!

    I don't have any experience with simple press but bbpress is easy to use and integrate with a wordpress site for obvious reasons. Some versions of wp and bbpress don't seem to be compatible but bbpress 1.0.1 and wp 2.8.6 work great together.

    I found another one called OnePress Community. It does not work as a WP plugin but as a WP theme that integrates with phpBB (separately installed). This is neat. See this intro:

    and instructions for installation:

    bbPress is the best option for integration of a simple forum with WordPress. SimplePress is too crude to be of use IMO.

    OnePress is a good option if you are looking for a more sophisticated, albeit more complex, forum solution.
