The word "forum" is the worst to search, I've managed to find http://www.simplemachines.org/, but was wondering of your opinion on it and what else are good.

You will have to use your own judgement on what is 'good' but would be better off searching with 'bulletin board software'. forums.debian.net uses phpBB - which should be a recommendation to take notice of. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Linux based forum software
PHPbb forum is the best, by far. It has colored backgrounds of alternate colors, which makes reading posts a light on my eyes plus very easy navigation. (I have low vision, but see PHPbb perfectly). Also has built-in admin panel and search bar for users. Admin control panel (ACP) takes time to get used to. But the user side of things is perfect. In other forums I need much more concentration and effort to read text and to find stuff. bonus: PHPbb is part of Debian.

You can also use phpbb by itself, w/o the CMS bundle of SimpleMachines. there is also vBulitain which is not free (and not cheap either.)
