[support] Forum Modules?

[Daniel Carrera]

Hello,

I am looking for an alternate forum module. I was planning to use UIE 
Forum but it doesn't seem to be available anymore.

What's wrong with the default forums? Well, the default forum uses the 
comment module to create threads. But I don't want to allow all users to 
post comments on all pages. I have two user roles: X and Y. I want X and 
Y both to post to the forum but only X can post comments on blogs.

Therefore, I'm looking for a forum module that doesn't use the comments 
module to do its thing.

Any suggestions? I can't find anything on the Modules page:

1) UIE Forum is not available.
2) Flexiforum and Nodeforum are unstable with no work on a Drupal 6 version.
3) Several modules integrate Drupal forums with some other forum 
program, but that's not what I'm looking for (I don't think).

I don't know whether OG Forum uses comments or not.

Daniel.
