Welcome to the… forums?

The WordPress blog and bbPress forums are now integrated. Meaning that accounts created on either, will be valid for both applications, and both blog and forums share the same cookie. I ditched phpBB3; it used to be the de facto for all forums, but I’ve grown disillusioned with its apparent bloat, lack of anti-spam features, and still (as of version 3.0.4) no sign of a mature plugin API.

I’ve also added the WordPress Facebook Connect plugin to the blog, and after my small hiatus will probably assess the effort required in porting that plugin to bbPress. It will — of course — be shared with the community if I decide to port it.
