It's a plugin which is very easy to install and as Dawn says it can be themed to fit your current blog colours. The only downside of simple press is that you can't generate a backup and store it on your computer or convert it to another forum type so it's slightly limiting in that area. I have heard that it is planned for a future release so I highly recommend this forum. I've tired bbpress in the past which is a forum created by wordpress that not-so-easily intergrates into wordpress. Maybe it was just me not being able to work it but simple press really is that simple compared to bbpress. If you're looking for a forum on your blog simple press is the forum software for you. ~ Deamonic Angel I have also used simple press forum on my wordpress blog.

I always found it easy to configure and use. It supports CSS, so you can match the style of your existing blog. I should have shares in it ;) I have used SimplePress Forums Plugin in the past and found it intergates completely, uses the same user id’s, etc. There are options to link to blog posts or have the blog posts show in the forum and also, comments can be linked to forum posts.

When you click on the comments link at the bottom of the blog post it automatically goes to the corresponding thread on the forums that's automatically created when a new blog post is created. I have noticed that there is a vBulletin Plug-in that does this, but I'm not exactly going to shell out $180 for forums just yet, though there forums do look the best I'd I'd love to use them I can't justify spending that much for forums on my mediocre blog site. I don't remember where I saw this, but it was somewhere on the vBulletin Forums.

Would you mind to list which forum features would you like to see in the comment system? Could be an interesting extension to the Threated Comments Plugin (do you know it, don't you?)
