 * 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.

 * Maybe we should try installing WordPress and bbPress together in a sub-domain
   at [https://wordpress.org/wordpress/](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.
