For a project I need an open-source free simple forum in C# and ASP.NET (ASP.NET MVC is preferred!). Does anybody know any?

I've seen this before. Another one? Because I want to code my forum in MVC source code is not important but architecture and database model is so important for me.

Check this tutorial series, it's a really good guide to build a forum using ASP .NET MVC Framework:
ASP.NET MVC Application Building: Forums
And of course, the complete source code.

You know what? I surely hope Stephen Walter's project will become an open source project that will be effectively used in production environments. :)

Yes, I hope so, it looks very promising...

http://www.yetanotherforum.net/ is great. I've used it on several projects and never has it steered me wrong. It uses a back end SQL Server database with a rather simple schema. It uses ASP.Net, but not MVC (since, well, I don't believe MVC is actually released yet). It is extensible and full featured.

Agreed, YAF is the best C# forum software. if you do not trust its main developer, trust a review site: http://www.forum-software.org/yet-another-forum/review

I actually saw this post a little while back and was looking for the same thing. Since I wasn't able to find anything I decided to build an open source MVC forum myself. If you're still looking, you can grab my source code here...
