I've written a few sites in Drupal and, looking for an integrated blog and forum solution, this has been my first port of call. I haven't used the forum module before and am not filled with boundless optimism with it throwing an error as soon as enabled. It is a very simple forum compared to VBulletin, SMF, etc, but it would serve my initial needs and is integrated with the rest of the CMS, so there is a common log in and posts and topics would be returned via the search module. Reading the Drupal site, there are a fair few complaints about it and calls for it to be removed from the core.
What has been your experience integrating a forum into a site, or have you just gone the mybroadband route and used separate software and linked news/blog entries to a forum thread?
