Sharepoint third-party forum

Question

Does anybody know of a good forum for Sharepoint. The one it brings by default is appalling compared to phpBB.

In our company we are trying to move towards Sharepoint and unify our collaboration through it but the forum is one of the more lacking aspects. Even the wiki manages to be slightly better.

Does someone know of any good freeware or commercial forum Sharepoint feature?

Answer 1

There is a sharepoint forum webpart available in codePlex. Please check out here.

Answer 2

You can try SharePoint Enhanced Discussion Board which is part of the SharePoint Community Kit.

Answer 3

[plug] we've just released a commercial web part/solution that may help you out with this:
