Hello there.
I was searching for some time now for a hack/plugin of some sort that could make separate forums(groups), not only "recent discussions" and "forums".
Here is an example http://community.invisionpower.com/
- Invision Power Services, Inc.
- IPS Customer Services
- Community Resources
Have a nice day, hope for a reply soon.
You want the "forum is category" plugin for 0.9 or it is built in on 1.x
Just make a category and then sub-forums under it.

Thank you but that solves half of the problem, i ment as a design too .another forum like those that can be collapsed .
bbPress Showcase Forums, Latest Discussions. Is there anyway to add forums like those?
The collapse is just a javascript trick.
Ok. Let me put it this way:)
that's what i ment with other forums that collapse like the others.
forumz.png (85.6 KB, 2 downloads) 1 year old forumz.png (85.6 KB, 1 downloads) 1 year old You'd have to write special code to break it up and repeat the headers.
Oh, so it's really that complicated. I understand, thank you for the time.
Is there any way this could turn out into a future plugin?
Not likely - it's too specific of a need.
When I make a plugin, it's for hundreds or thousands of people that need it.
I am still not clear on what you are asking, if you just want a list of the current posts in specific sub-forums, that can be done with a custom query. It sounds like you have no coding knowledge so you'd have to find someone to make the code for you.
Latest Discussions is not a forum, it's a list of the newest posts across all the forums.
He wants that gradient background used as the background for the forum category also! Basically he wants his theme to like like a phpbb theme would look like. This would need to be achieved at template level 
It would be pretty easy to do also. Just do this:
find: the CSS for "#latest th, #forumlist th, #favorites th" (in your style.css" file)
Next! Add: "tr.bb-category td" to it so it looks like this:
"#latest th, #forumlist th, #favorites th, tr.bb-category td {"
Note you also will have to remove anything that may reset tr.bb-category td preceding this code.
Hope this helps!
EDIT: P.S CK this is a popular request actually. A large amount people tend to stay away from bbpress because it looks... I really hope someone will take advantage of how bbpress templates are made (with css) and make some sweet themes... All the themes out look the same right now. I'm taking some courses in css and webdeisgn this upcoming semester :p maybe I'll be able to help haha.
Edit 2: I Probably need some grammar classes too lmfao...
