The forum software we use on Talk is called Discourse.
ttps://www.discourse.org/
What are some features you would like to see in a new forum?
Here are some of mine
- The ability to hide a thread
- The ability to block a user
- The ability to delete your own post
- Threaded comments
- Ability to create separate areas to talk and choose which ones you want to see
- To be able to see more than just a one-liner in the list, I want a feed
- A great theme that represents each area instead of just black and white
