Just got this from a friend who is trying to set up a forum at their agency
Do you have any suggestions for free open source forum platforms?
Any suggestions?

I know this is now an old thread, but I was just thinking that maybe, based on what you're saying you'd like to do, that a twitter like threading would be the kind of "forum" you need. Especially one you can use with folks outside of your agency but which can also be group.
So, 1, the earlier suggestion for Drupal Commons is pretty on target. It does that out of the box. But more Facebook like than Twitter like.
my suggestion is more #2: http://identi.ca/ well, not really Identi.ca, but rather, what it's built on http://status.net/ and they have made no customizations to run it. And they also tell you they haven't.
