Vanilla is a really lightweight and pleasant forum system to use that
was pretty much developed by people in your same bucket; they also
hate how bloated forums have become. Check out Vanilla here:

And the first place I ran into it being used, for a real world example:

Great software.

This I agree with almost completely, they tend to be over-featured
bloated monsters complete with an overbearing preponderance for large
avatar images and signatures. This needn't be the case though, these
thingies can be done in a pretty svelte manner.

That's my main objection to the mailing list really - reviewing the
past discussions, this format is great for keeping up to date but I
feel that a stripped back forum with RSS feeds for updates would be
the best of both worlds.
