Hi
Is there any good forum plugin out there for WP 3.0 ? I've checked out WP Forum but it's full of bugs... bbpress also pretty much sucks, very hard to integrate with wp and is missing a lot of stuff that a generic forum has...

You should give bbPress a shot. It's not a plug-in like WP Forum, but a standalone forum implementation that runs on a similar codebase. The beauty of the system is that it's developed by the same core group, so updates/support won't go anywhere.
For a live example, check out the official WordPress support forums ... they run on bbPress.

I greatly hesitate to say this, but SimplePress integrates with WordPress. However, it kinda sucks.
There are a couple people working on forum plugins which use WordPress' Custom Post Types. Justin Tadlock and the bbPress team are working on forum plugins. Doesn't really help too much in the short term though.
Edit: Justin says his plugin will be released soon.

I neglected to mention BuddyPress as an option. It has a built-in, already integrated instance of bbPress. I'm not sure if you'd be able to disable everything else to strip it down to just the forum though.
