    I wonder how hard it gets hit for spam?

    But I read in description that Akismat is free for only those sites that do not earn from adsense or affiliate programs. I hardly know any site that does not show ads.

    Well, they say so, but they do not check your site to see if its making money, just ignore it.

    I wouldn't recommend a forum plugin install a standalone forum script like phpBB.

    bbpress is actually a standalone thing, i dont see the problem when its installed as a plugin. It can totally sync with WP and since its from Automatic, it will be there as long as WP exists.

    You can't compare bbpress to phpbb though.

    I agree to that, if one is looking for a proper, fully functional forum, phpbb is the way to go. But most people should be happy with bbpress

    I used PHPbb intergrated with WP before using WP-United, it worked well but it doesn't appear that the project has been updated in a while.
