I am looking at adding s2member to my site along with forums. I have seen quite a few topics on bbpress not being easily integrated. I like easy, and understand plugins will work better.

I'd like to allow people to register and have full permissions, but after a trial period they will need to subscribe.

Does s2Member support that capability in WP-Forum? If not, is there a forum that s2Member integrates with best?

Thanks,

Yea, I feel your pain.
Personally, I prefer NOT to run a forum into WordPress, because I think it slows WordPress down too much. That being said, if you must, then you must. Sometimes there is no choice; and I understand that.

bbPress was a dead project for awhile, but it looks like it is making a come-back. I'll have a look into this and get back with you. Until then, it appears that Simple:Press works well together with s2Member. I'm not wild about it's interfaces though; I think bbPress is cleaner.

phpBB, is my top choice.
That's what powers this forum.

- not integrated with WordPress though; but definitely possible.

@TODO - check bbPress integration possiblities.

bbPress integration is coming in s2Member v3.1+. I've already done the Bridge/Plugin, and I'll release it with s2Member v3.1+. You can look for this in the next release, under:
