Forum / Blog Software to use with CI

[eluser]brad13x[/eluser]
Hello CI Forum

I'm new to CI and looking to build a site that would have a Blog / Forum / User area created with CI.

I don't want to have to manage 2-3 separate User tables if possible. I have done this before with Dolphin and PHPBB and it was a nightmare.

I was wondering what you guys suggest or have used to accomplish this.

I have looked into CI solutions.

https://www.pyrocms.com - Forum is lacking. May have to buy full version to white label.

http://www.doveforums.com/ - Forum is not that great.

Also looked into

PHPBB3 - Great Forum difficult to intgrate

Wordpress with http://bbpress.org/. Might be the easiest solution for me because WP is so easy to use but have never used BBPress before.

Any help for a newbie would be appreciated.

Brad
