Is Buddypress Any Good?
Just pondering. WordPress is great but I’ve never seen or developed an effective Buddypress site (a plugin to turn WP in to a social network, forum etc) Possibly WP is best used as a blog/cms and leave social networking and forums to dedicated platforms. http://buddypress.org/
@Stevie_T It’s very good if you take the time to develop your community and add extra features through plugins
