The plugins are both awful and brilliant at the same time. Well, maybe not so much today. But back before I knew I what I was doing, back before Ruby On Rails really took off, it was pretty awesome to have a Wordpress blog, install a plugin, and suddenly you've got a fully fledged forum section on your site. Of course the architecture and the mode of installation for those plugins used to be horrendous and fraught with so many problems.
