<p>We developed this tool for our bbPress support forms over at <a href="http://www.inboundnow.com" title="Inbound Marketing for WordPress" rel="nofollow ugc">InboundNow</a>. Our goal was to reduce the custom support load by suggesting related topics to the user as they constucted their new topic title.</p>

<h4>Developers & Designers</h4>
<p>This extension has a plubic GitHub page where users can contribute fixes and improvements. We ask that if you do make improvements that you commit them back for review so everyone can benefit.</p>
