Recommendations for a ASP.NET Forum control?

Question

I am looking for a Forum server-side asp.net control that will integrate into my asp.net 3.5 site.

I've seen a ton over at www.asp.net in their gallery page, but almost none have ratings, so difficult to determine which are reliable and which will turn into a nightmare.

Recommendations? Both free and paid components are welcome.

Answer 1

We're more than happy with "Jitbit Forum" http://www.jitbit.com/asp-net-forum/ , they have a free edition. Also this forum received a good review from Scott Hanselman on his blog - http://www.hanselman.com/blog/HanselmanForumsAspNetForumFromJitBit.aspx

Answer 2

I've somewhat successfully integrated Community Server another COTS CMS (EPiServer) however it was far from smooth sailing. I found Community Server didn't integrate very well, was difficult to extend, sluggish and overloaded with far too many features for our needs.

PS. Sorry I didn't really answer your question.
