Using Disqus as a Traditional Forum in Wordpress = Powerful Combination

I haven’t found a single good discussion system that combines the power of a forum with the dynamism and convenience of an on-line streaming comment system, such as Disqus / Slashdot / Reddit.

I want to create a discussion system using Disqus in Wordpress, which works like a traditional forum on the front panel, where users can create new categories and subcategories, which in turn are arranged according to the latest answers in descending order. I am currently trying and comparing Disqus with bbPress + Threaded comments.

I found a previous discussion on stackoverflow that gave a link to the API for disqus .

But I can not find a simple example of using a website. I really would like to see it in use before I start integrating it into my site! Does anyone know an example?

Also, will the forum API do what I would like to do, mentioned above? It looks like listThreads might come close, but it's unclear what the difference is between a "message" and a "thread." In addition, although there is a create option for forums and a listCategories option, it is unclear how to create categories and subcategories in the first place. Again, it would be clear if I have an example.

Channels is a python example of how the mini-forum will be encoded if it is powered by Disqus.

I suggest you use the bbPress plugin for Wordpress with the bbPress Threaded Replies plugin.
