BbPress Vs WPForo
BBPress has been a long running forum plugin for WordPress. I've used it in some of my sites and I've been very satisfied with it. BBPress has a ton of customisation features which makes it a very complete forum plugin. It can also be integrated with other 3rd party plugins to make it even more awesome. Like for instance the integration of MyPoints plugin to give users points for every thread created and every reply made, etc.
Then, as I was browsing through plugins in my WordPress dashboard, I came across a highly rated plugin called WPForo. It seems to be a very new plugin but has already a lot of downloads and has received lots of praise from users. I tried it out and was very amazed at its flexibility. What I liked was that the forum offered different layouts. It could even be made into a question and answer type of forum with just a few tweaks in the settings.
Have you tried these two forum plugins? Which do you think is better?

BBPress and WPForo are the only free forum plugins for WordPress but they're not the only forum plugins. There are also a number of paid forum plugins available for download. But who wants paid when you already have something free right?
