What forum applications are available for use with WordPress?

I want integrate an easy to administrate forum with my wordpress. Any ideas on what applications I can use? I looked at phpbb and that seems good if i want a seperate forum site outside of wordpress, but I want an integrated one with the same look.

Well there is:
https://www.xdweb.net/wordpress/xdforum2/

or
https://bbpress.org/

people using PHPBB have successfully integrated the two, having the comments on posts showing from a thread in the forum.

generally, a forum doesn’t want to exactly match the skinning of a main blog, as the navigation tools are different, etc. but you can get close, and things like xdforum try to integrate themselves under the WP theme.
