WrdpressMU, custm payment, Biz Directory, license question

After trying the demo, i have few questions (somebody might asked before, sorry, i don't have time to browse all topics):
1. Is this template compatible with WordpressMU? (i'm pretty sure it is, but just to confirm)
2. I saw another classified-ads template, has a feature to post non-ads (articles/blogs). I don't see it here. The reason I asked since I'm interested to use this template as Business Directory (non-ads). The only different maybe the 'price' field is not needed, can I (how easy) customize it that way?
3. If option2 is possible, how easy to customize the payment? I want people to post ads for free (also w/o registr), but there's fee for Biz Directory
4. Do i get free upgrade when purchasing single/dev license? Is this one time license fee or annual?
5. Also, any reason you're not using BBPress for your forum ?

Thanks,
-m

taylerj,
do you use phpBB for your swgdirectory.com (nice site, btw)? if you're Not using bbpress, how do you share the database b/w the ads and forum site? i'm new in this wordpress stuff, so could you describe the main reason why bbPress is sucks? thanks.

Re: WrdpressMU, custm payment, Biz Directory, license question

1. Yes
2. I recommend installing classipress as a separate instance of wordpress so you keep your ads and blog separate. Mixing the two makes it harder to manage. Yes, you can go in and remove the price field but you'd have to do it in the code.
3. You can turn off all payments or just make certain categories paid.
4. Yes.
5. I wanted to use BBPress for the login integration but it's just not mature enough yet for my needs. There's nothing wrong with it and I've seen others with ClassiPress use it fine.
