[thelist] bbpress and WordPress

Has anyone tried running a site off WordPress and bbPress linked
together (i.e. using the same users table(s))? I'm trying to put
together a news site where people will be able to comment on stories
posted but also have forums available for when people want to drift
off-topic. Ideally I want something fairly small and streamlined (which
is why I've avoided Drupal so far, it seems a bit over complicated for
what I need) which I can easily add a few features to and customise the
default templates to something completely different without too much
hassle. I'm drifting towards the WP/BBP combination but seeing as the
forum software is still in beta I thought I'd ask about to see if anyone
has used it successfully or has any other suggestions as to combining
blog software that supports multiple users with forum software that
supports the same logins.

Thanks in advance.

Paul
