Uhm, it's Johann =). Thanks for the replies. Basically we're building a full-blown site that has social networking functionalities, among other things. Originally, the forum was really supposed to be phpBB, but some specs got enhanced and we're looking at some major integration issues. Imagine attempting single sign-on or even just shared user authentication info when the two apps are using different languages and databases. That's why I was looking for a forum that can authenticate via webservice, because we already that capability on our app. Then there's also the requirement to link back to the main app to show a site member's profile when you click on his name/avatar. Still, dealing with these two integration points look simpler than building a full-blown forum with all the bells and whistles already available in popular solutions such as phpBB.
I am looking at Freshmeat and other sites. No luck so far though I'm not really searching fulltime. Was just wondering if anybody here already knows of one.
