I saw a post somewhere here several months ago asking a similar question, and I have since forgotten the answer as to the actual forum. However, I believe wordpress.org runs on a platform much different than WordPress and does not use any WordPress plugins.
Edit: Oops, Mr. Nash knows!

You’re still right @leejosepho.
Maybe we should try installing WordPress and bbPress together in a sub-domain at https://wordpress.org/wordpress/ and see how that works, eh?!
It’s actually not using a plugin.
It’s using the old, original, bbPress stand-alone app.

Well, I got a ton of different answers, but it seems that in the end, it’s using some form of bbPress, which is what I just installed on my blog.
This is a pretty big forum, so I figure if it’s safe enough and works good enough for WordPress.org, it’s probably a good choice for my small site.
Even if it’s a standalone version, I’m assuming that it’s technically, the same software.
Thanks.
