我不太喜欢那种论坛布局。主题列表一页只能放下大约 4 个主题，帖子被当作新闻文章或博客文章来处理，回复评论则放在底部。它更像一个社交网站，确实不利于技术讨论。
我想的是 phpBB、IPB 或类似的论坛。每个主题占一行文字，使用小字体，高效利用纵向空间。大多数人已经熟悉这种界面。
我建了一个 ning.com 网站用于测试：bitcoin.ning.com。即使我们不使用它，至少它在那里还能获得 Google 搜索的点击。
既然 bitcoin.sourceforge.net 上的论坛开始热闹起来了，我们确实应该找个能免费托管功能完备的论坛软件的地方。bitweaver 的论坛功能实在太轻量了。我想，主页上的“Forum”标签可以链接到实际托管论坛的任何地方。
我见过有些项目仅凭论坛讨论和天马行空的规划，就拥有了大量追随者，甚至连任何代码都还没有。大量的论坛讨论能让一个项目在网上更有存在感，带来更多搜索结果，使它显得规模庞大，吸引新用户，帮助解决支持方面的问题，并充分讨论出最需要哪些功能。
如果能支持 SSL 会是一个很大的加分项；即使不能全站支持，至少登录页面要支持。论坛上有多人表示对 TOR/I2P 感兴趣，而这些用户需要 SSL，因为许多 TOR 出口节点很可能是身份窃贼运行的密码抓取器。对比特币抱有核心兴趣的人，很大一部分会来自注重隐私的群体。
我们能在哪里弄到一个免费论坛？也许应该看看其他一些项目把论坛托管在哪里，借此想想该去哪里找。

I'm not really a fan of that type of forum layout. The thread list only fits about 4 threads on a page, posts are treated like news articles or blog posts with reply comments at the bottom. It's more of a social networking site, not really conducive to technical discussion.
I'm thinking phpBB or IPB or similar. One line of text per thread, small fonts, efficient use of vertical space. Most people are already familiar with the interface.
I made a ning.com site for testing: bitcoin.ning.com. At least it's there to get Google hits, even if we didn't use it.
Now that the forum on bitcoin.sourceforge.net is catching on, we really should look for somewhere that freehosts full blown forum software. The bitweaver forum feature is just too lightweight. I assume the "Forum" tab on the homepage can link out to wherever the forum is hosted.
I've seen projects that have major following just from forum talk and pie-in-the-sky planning without even having any code yet. Having a lot of forum talk gives a project more presence on the net, more search hits, makes it look big, draws new users in, helps solve support questions, hashes out what features are most of wanted.
It would be a big plus if it could support SSL, at least for the login page if not sitewide. Multiple people on the forum have expressed interest in TOR/I2P, and those users need SSL because a lot of TOR exit nodes are probably password scrapers run by identity thieves. A lot of the core interest in Bitcoin is going to be from the privacy crowd.
Any ideas where we can get a free forum? Maybe we should look at where some other projects have their forums hosted for ideas where to look.
