What do you feel is the best forum module to use? Which module is being used here?
I want my users to register once and have access throughout the entire site, forum included. Do all the forum modules allow this integration?

Thx

That depends what on what you're looking for.

The three that spring to mind are:

1. CBB 3.08 (you'll need Frameworks and xoopseditors as well). Developed by DJ (phppp on here, lead developer)
2. Newbbex (from http://xoops.instant-zero.com)
3. 3DForums from GIJOE, http://xoops.peak.ne.jp/

Try them and see for yourself which you prefer. All three are well-supported and widely used.

CBB 3.08

Yes, all of them.

Just to add my 2 cents to a good answer:

You have to like CBB a lot to justify fooling around with the additional frameworks and xoopseditor directories you will have to add to your server. They are many times larger than the module itself.

Now, if you also are using or planning to use other modules that require these extra files, then it makes a big difference in the decision.

I recommend d3forum, it's fast, superior to CBB, no need of Frameworks.

Characteristic Specs: (listed by GIJOE the author)
- Fully scratched codes irrelevant to newbb or phpbb.
- Clear hierarchy category, forum, topic, and post.
- Tree structured category.
- Detailed permissioning per a category or a forum. (users and groups)
- Preferences override system per a category or a forum.
- Guest post
- Detailed and exact controlls about textsanitizer
- Topic attribute - invisible, lock, sticky, solved, marked, and read.
- Post attribute - invisible, and hide_uid
- Approval for posts
- Import from newbb1 or xhnewbb
- etc.

Other great features: (listed by avtx30)
- Comment-integration like myAlbum-P's imagemanager-integration
- Function for keeping language override system of D3 module
- WYSIWYG Editor safely (perhaps, you've already known forum modules can use WYSIWYG editors. But d3forum is far different from them because of the security)
- Import from CBB
- Of course because it's a D3 module, you can name it anything you like (forum, boad, etc), you can duplicate it as much as you wish
