How can I remove certain things from my forum, such as</p> <p>'be brief and descriptive'<br /> hot tags<br /> latest posts (I want people to search for them; rather, I want it to be clear-cut, if that makes sense)<br /> even things like titles ('member,' 'moderator')</p> <p>How can I have a big announcement at the top of my forum? I want to announce that people do not need to give personal info when they register. Also I want to make a kind of announcement to deter evil.</p> <p>I do not know what CSS is. </p> http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/bbpress-turns-2-today-happy-birthday-bbpress#post-741 Tue, 14 Oct 2008 03:52:49 +0000 _ck_ 741@http://bbshowcase.org/forums/ <p><a href="http://bbpress.org">bbPress</a> turns 2 years old today!!!</p> <p>It's been a big year with new features being added at a rapid pace thanks to hard work by Sam and Mike. It's an easy guess that we should see a stable 1.0 beta by the end of 2008.</p> <p>But don't let the modest sounding "1.0" fool you, it's practically a "2.0" inside with all the changes since 0.9 including BackPress integration (merges core functions from WordPress) and an XML-RPC api like WordPress as well. </p> <p>While Matt Mullenweg (Automattic/WordPress founder) <a href="http://photomatt.net/2004/12/29/bbpress/">created bbPress during Christmas 2004</a> to power <a href="http://wordpress.org">WordPress.org</a>, version 0.7.2 (nicknamed “bix”) was only <a href="http://bbpress.org/blog/2006/10/bbpress-072/">officially released for public consumption</a> on Saturday October 14th 2006 making it two years old today.</p> <p>Regardless of being <a href="http://ckon.wordpress.com/2008/08/08/wikipedia-overlords-delete-bbpress-page/">summarily deleted from Wikipedia this year</a>, bbPress has never been more popular. I've been tracking bbPress growth via the <a href="http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/top100">Top 100</a> and <a href="http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/top1000">Top 1000</a> lists for over a year now and this month shows the list surging to nearly 5000 forums, with bbPress being used in over 80 countries and in dozens of languages.</p> <p>Roughly 10 sites a day have installed bbPress over the past two years and over 70% them continue to use it. The largest bbPress forum is about to break a million posts by the end of the year and just to be on the Top 100, a forum now needs at least 7000 posts.</p> <p>bbPress hosted forums via TalkPress (ala WordPress.com) are on the horizon, and with new <a href="http://bbxf.org/">forum conversion software</a> being developed and more <a href="http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-plugins">plugins</a> and <a href="http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes">themes</a> available than ever before, bbPress will definitely make it's mark in 2009 and should have a very exciting third year! </p> http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/tips-to-grow-forum-talkchinacocc#post-725 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 06:48:15 +0000 williamhouser 725@http://bbshowcase.org/forums/ <p>a site on china... i don't really know where to go to plug it...<br /> ideas? </p> http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/what-would-you-like-to-see-in-a-bbpress-theme#post-631 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 07:00:31 +0000 spectacula 631@http://bbshowcase.org/forums/ <p>We're going to release a bbPress theme to partner our forthcoming Caribou theme. However, it'll be our first bbPress theme release, and it's got me thinking that it's probably worth asking bbPress users out there what <em>they'd</em> like to see in a theme.</p> <p>Any thoughts? </p> http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/bbpress-top-100-august-2008-update#post-463 Sun, 03 Aug 2008 08:23:01 +0000 _ck_ 463@http://bbshowcase.org/forums/ <p>It's time to take another look at the (unofficial) bbPress Top 100 list! I've come up with some more advanced ways to find bbPress forums and I am pleased to announce the full list has broken 3,000 forums and provided for some new discoveries for the Top 100:</p> <p><a href="http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/top100" rel="nofollow">http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/top100</a><br /> (based on activity, not quality, which is subjective)</p> <p>If you register/login you can also see the sites<br /> that may have just missed the top 100 via the top 1000:<br /> <a href="http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/top1000" rel="nofollow">http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/top1000</a></p> <p>August update was essentially aimed at finding new sites, not updating stats for existing sites. I'll do a full re-analysis next month.</p> <p>Some really nice looking sites among the bunch. I enabled "snapshots" so you can mouse-over their little logo and get a general preview. I hope to improve the list soon with the ability to vote on the design of any site.</p> <p>Also new for this month is an attempt to guess what country the site is "aimed at" (not hosted in or TLD used). This is very difficult to determine and I estimate my automated route is currently correct only 70% of the time.</p> <p><font color="green">Some interesting statistics...</font><br /> 1) bbPress has been installed on at least 4000 sites<br /> 2) There are now at least 200 sites with over 1000 posts.<br /> 3) A bbPress forum will break one million posts late 2008<br /> 4) bbPress is now being used in nearly 80 countries!</p> <p><font color="blue">Top countries by estimated rank:</font></p> <p>1. USA<br /> 2. Germany<br /> 3. Spain<br /> 4. United Kingdom<br /> 5. Russia<br /> 6. Italy<br /> 7. Turkey<br /> 8. France<br /> 9. Sweden<br /> 10. China<br /> 11. Denmark<br /> 12. Canada<br /> 13.
