    Hi,

    I would like to add a forum to one of my blogs.
    What free forum software do you recommend.

    Thanks in advance.

    There are many alternatives but maybe the forum software for this case is bbpress.

    Take a look here to see how it integrates.

    I'd consider Vanilla (search for 'Get Vanilla') which is good for discussions on topic areas (which can fit well with a blog) rather than straight forum software.

    i would recommend investing 135$ for vBulletin software which is the best forum software on the market in my eyes.

    I use SMF and just link to it from my WP Blog.
    It seems to work alright.
