I really like how strong this Wordpress forum software is but it doesn't play well with others. Just about any forum works with groups... Example Invision Community you can have a group and add a blog, forum, files, etc..
Buddyboss you can have inside groups, forums, files etc.. (but the forum is very very basic.. no syntax highlighting)
Buddypress with bbpress (you can have groups with forums (bbpress) and bbpress you can add syntax highlighting and tinymce etc.. and with the right addons you can get it somewhat close to wpForo).
wpForo will not integrate with any group software like Buddypress or Buddyboss. Closest they integrate is with a not so great addon by wbcomdesigns that allows your forum posts to let the Peepso activity stream. Super lame since it quickly disappears as you have activity.
If you need a stand alone forum then I would recommend wpForo since it is strong but if you want it integrated with any kind of group software (Buddyboss, Buddypress, Peepso) then do not waste your money. I contacted Peepso and wbcomdesigns and they both have zero interest in pursuing this... probably why Peepso is on the bottom of the list for community software.

Thank you for your feedback, as far as I see you want to have Group Forums. This feature doesn't exist yet. wpForo is well integrated with BuddyPress however the Group Forum of the BuddyPress is only based on bbPress and it cannot be replaced. So this is not the wpForo integration issue.
- wpForo allows you to fully change the Forum profile page to BuddyPress profile page using the corresponding options: https://wpforo.com/docs/wpforo-v2/settings/member-profile/
- wpForo activity is displayed in the BuddyPress Activity Page
- Users topics, posts, activities and notifications also integrated with BuddyPress Profile Tabs.

Thanks for your response. As far as response you guys are great.
When we have members part of a group, lets say Coding.. we want everything related to be in that group. No sense of having to jump all over the website for stuff related to the group (like Coding in this example).
So when someone joins the group (Coding) the should be able to post images, videos (ideally blog posts), files and where wpForo comes in.. forum posts related to Coding. Example under the group Coding you may have the category (Coding created automatically) and then you could have topics created like Python, CSS, PHP, JSON, etc.... where those discussions could exist under the group with all the powerful features and addons wpForo offers.
Its nice its under a profile but its really not helpful for discussions. Especially when the website has a wide range of subjects.
Anyhow, I mention all this in not a negative tone but more to help wpForo be even more the forum of choice for everyones Wordpress needs. Hopefully my explanation makes sense and you could visulaize what I am trying to convey.
Attaching an example I have of a group with some examples of what is available in the group. I can provide more examples of forums and sub-forums inside the group if it would be helpful
