Hi Mike. That site's analysis of "Decreasing year-over-year  
development activity" seems weird to me, since as far as I know, those  
common bits between WP and bbPress were only formalized into BackPress  
in the last year or so. I could be totally wrong, but I remember Sam  
Bauers working on it for integration between bbPress and BuddyPress,  
and Beau just put up a site recently. Try http://backpress.org/  
instead. Fledgling site still, but Beau Lebens loves BackPress, Matt  
loves BackPress, Westi loves BackPress, and it's integral to  some big  
projects, so I don't really see it going away as long as there's a  
WordPress.

WordPress.com gets more than ten times that per minute (I looked it  
up) and it does okay. :)
