BuddyPress is a sister project of WordPress and quite accurately described as "Facebook-in-a-box" perfect for the creation of niche social networks.

bbPress is plain and simple forum software with a twist, from the creators of WordPress.

It’s easy to use, easy to administrate, fast and clean. But don’t let its simplicity deceive you; underneath its chic exterior, sit some very powerful features, and it is totally customizable.
