 * Before I get brutally flamed for “not searching first”, let me say that I did
   do an extensive search and read many many posts, but unfortunately I didn’t seem
   to get a definitive answer from anyone. 90% of the threads I read were just people
   saying, “do a search first, dummy!” and the rest were not really clear answers.
 * I have the WP set up and I actually successfully installed a phpBB. My questions
   is, first… how do I link the two so they use the same user database (you saw 
   that coming, right), but better yet… I have no emotional attachment to the phpBB.
   I haven’t even gotten around to configuring it or anything. Instead of working
   on getting it linked to my wordpress would you instead recommend just downloading
   some kind of “forum plugin” for WP that has the same great features? Honestly
   this is my first attempt ever setting up a Forum and I just want to make sure
   the final product is solid.

 * There’s [XD Forum](http://www.xdweb.net/index.php?page=12) but I think you might
   have await a few days for a version that works with the current version of WP.

 * I’d like to do the original question: integrating the users with each other. 
   I’d like users to register on phpbb and have them be able to comment, post, and
   login to wordpress.
