BBCode is more user friendly than HTML. And it's easier to learn and use.

Please don't use bbCode. This website is aimed at more tech-savvy users in general, so using bbCode would be a bit... insulting.
Perhaps a better option would be a live preview + WYSIWYG buttons. (Bold button to insert bold tags, etc.)

An option for to use either/or would be nice. I'm becoming rather fond of BBCode, myself.

Agreed with ecmanaut and jerone.

Indeed, it shouldn't replace the HTML support; to many scriptpages are using it already. BBcode as extra i wouldn't mind.

BBCode is more BBCode-literate-user-friendly than HTML, just as HTML is more HTML-literate-user-friendly than BBCode. If implemented, I hope it won't replace HTML.
Last time I looked at bbcode, I couldn't find a ruby library that implemented it. If this is voted up, I'll look again.
