How is the front page integrated with phpbb?
I hope I'm not asking a trade secret or anything.
But I'm dying to know if the frontpage and articles are some web content package integrated with phpBB.
I'm refering to the way front page articles become threads in phpBB. I'm currently using wordpress as my blog but would like to integrate it with phpBB. I've done numerous searches and many are also looking for this but none have yet to achieve it.
I know Brighthand uses vBulletin but both sites have the seemless integration that I'm hoping for.
So is it something the Thoughts team can share? 
If not I understand.

PPCT (well, the Thoughts Media sites) use a custom-developed portal.
To answer your other question, I believe there are a number of open-source projects that will sit on top of a forum engine, like phpBB, and give you what you want. Unfortunately, I don't have one off the top of my head... try a few Google searches.

He just come across mxBB.
Its not worpress but seems to be what I'm looking for. Unfortunately I can't find very many sites using it. I'd like to see what people are doing with it.
The one forum on their site called "show off" requires a registration.

You might want to check out www.opensourcecms.com - they have demos of all the popular free CMS packages out there, some of which I know use phpBB as their forum package. Its also a great time waster to play with!
