I second on that one : FluxBB (which is based on PunBB) may be a good
choice. It only includes what is really needed in a public web forum,
and nothing else (for exemple, it does not includes a private messaging
feature), so it is not as bloated as other forum engines might be, and
it even works with PostgreSQL (by this I mean it is not limited to just
MySQL...).

But it's also somewhat hard to maintain from a sysadmin point of view.
You have to modify the base source code by your own hands if you want
to add some feature; the idea behind this is that you are forced to
know what you do to add something that may be broken or insecure, so the
community does not give you any patch nor automated process to modify
the base source code.


Regards,
Maxime
