forum/discussion software

[Andy Fish]

Hi,

I'm developing a community/discussion/collaboration/groupware/bulletin board
type application which will be ASP.Net based, using RDBMS for persistence.

I'm looking for any standard frameworks or toolkits that I could take
advantage of, especially open source stuff. I can't re-use a whole existing
application because I need users to be able to attach discussions at
specific points in my existing application, and I need to put in extensive
controls over who can do what where, and how the UI is displayed.

any pointers to existing reusable code or very customizable products
appreciated

Andy

We run our forums with ASPPlayground www.aspplayground.net (you can check
out our forums http://forums.devbuzz.com/ to see what features are
available). You may also find Snitz helpful and I believe it's still free

but Snitz is GPL so keep that in mind.
