In general most of these comments are very interesting and Drupal is of course a great CMS., but I think the forums (even the Advanced Forums) does not scale that well.
This seems to be my impression as well. However, I'd still like to see this myself on a local install.
There is a phpBB bridge available which might be an option.
yup.
Concerning Pun/FluxBB I have also talked to the (ex)developer of Puntal who said that his software is final and will no longer be developed. Puntal relies on the authentication framework of Pun/FluxBB which also needs to be extended to use LDAP auth.
But I guess Puntal is no real option as it's no longer maintained.
I think you missed some of the discussions around this issue since they happened a few months back - but yes, puntal/punbb are not on the agenda since fluxbb was the fork we are following.
Also, there were licensing issues around punbb which made a few people uncomfortable.
