bbPress is one of the leading forum software applications that you can find. Here is a little history on Wordpress (founders of bbPress). WordPress was started in 2001 and originally built on a PHP and MySQL foundation. Since then, WordPress has released about 3 new versions of WordPress each year to continue providing the best blogging software. A key component of bbPress is that it is an open source software program. That means you can download it as often as you like for free!

What are the minimum requirements to run bbPress ? To run bbPress you need to have a PHP hosting or MySQL hosting company that offers the minimum features:

• PHP 4.3 or greater
