I’m very glad I found this forum plugin. Excellent support, great themes/layouts to choose from, easy to use and install, all the features I needed (charge users subscription fees, private sections, export the data, etc). And they have a free trial.

It’s very simple and easy to use. However, I don’t like the layout or colors offered. It’s so simple that you can’t really customize it that well. I would recommend just because it’s easy to use & navigate through but I wish it didn’t look so myspace-ish.

I love the ethic of bbPress: open source, built the WordPress way, etc. Unfortunately, several limitations of the platform made it difficult for our users. Chief among these was the limited notification options and the inability to continue a conversation by replying by email to the notification email.
Website Toolbox is a robust forum solution. It looks very much like the popular, open source Discourse platform–I’m convinced its a fork. However, Website Toolbox offers a hosted, supported solution for website owners who aren’t interested in setting up their own forum servers.
As noted elsewhere in these reviews and on the plugin page, this is not a free service. However, the support is strong and the product works very well.
The feature list on their site is accurate. A few comments from our experience:

These guys provide very prompt and helpful service to any and all questions you ask of them. They are open and flexible to new suggestions too, I was quite surprised. Better than the communications you get from many developers.

Very easy setup and flawless integration with my WP site. I prefer this US $18/month to plugins that will hit performance issues with 25,000 users. I intend to use their great range API’s and I have full confidence things will function. Minor ironing bugs were solved within 24 hours either via emails or a overseas calls to my mobile. Team is always available for further more involved discussions regarding extended functionality. Support and commitment is unparalleled (I have 40 years of software experience).

This plugin has been great for us. It provides an easy way for us to embed an entire forum into our WordPress resource center website while utilizing SSO so our customers do not have to have yet another account to log into.
Also, their support team has been very helpful when we’ve reached out to them, and the chat functionality is great for when you have quick questions.

Plugin was easy to install, forum embeds nicely into my website (or you can link to the forum if you don’t want to embed it), matches my website, synchronizes with my log in and sign up page, amazing support, and nice themes!
I like that it’s hosted by them. Regardless of how much my forum grows, I never have to worry about my wordpress website’s server being overloaded.
The other plugins are good too, but I found them to be too basic, no customer support, and too many problems reported by people when their forum became really busy and started crashing their site.

This is not a self-hosted forum like vBulletin or BBPress. Your data is stored elsewhere on a 3rd Party Cloud Server. This is why you have to pay each month to use this plug-in.
Nice looking forum.
