It does not work well. It has had problems with sessionid (since 2007). I Just tried it and the experience was horrid. For example when trying to use it, users get the message:

"TDOMF: Bad data submitted. Please return to the previous page and reload it. Then try submitting your post again."

And the error log clearly shows the issue is because of two different session IDs:

[76.124.86.21][04-06-09(17:43:57)] Form (1) submitted with bad key (session = db872b5ca892c5475892d183c9e7b8c6, post = 862e7451ab366aca8eced0ad55ac1e14) from 76.124.86.21 !

The error was on an existing and on several clean fresh installs of WP2.7.1 with no plugins and the default theme.

I'm sure it's working for some people, but based on this experience, I'd not recommend it. Eeek.

I preffer to use myBB as forum because I can bridge them and it`s working very well. Why I use myBB ? Because it has more functions built-in than the forum that you presented.

Have you ever see www.intensedebate.com ? I use in my (very little) blog on blogger but it can be integrated in wordpress and other platform.

Looks good, but the design is pretty bad and simplistic.

Wouldn't it be better just to install dedicated forum software? Still shows what can be done with wordpress.

Thanks for the link Kristen. I really appreciate it. As for the comment Satish made. Yes, there is bbpress, but then again, this TDO theme integrates everything into one neat little package. BBpress is separate from WordPress unless you integrate it yourself. So this theme is not pointless.

Pointless, considering http://bbpress.org/ exists.
