The obvious choice is Drupal. Very popular and tons of plugins. It has a good integrated forum. Because of this, though, there aren't a lot of options for alternative forum softwares. However, while it's not a true CMS, Wordpress can be very powerful as a CMS web site and has tons of plugins, including forum plugins. http://chasesagum.com/5-best-choices-for-wordpress-forum-plugins |

Wordpress has a large library of plugins and there are scripts out there to allow intergration with the major forums including PHPBB, Invision and VBulletin. |

PHPbb has a good support community and has a lot of MOD's. if you can't find the plugins you want, you can easily request on the community forum so many developers will help you out. |

The Vanillaforum is a great opensource forum that now has a feature that is supposed to let you embed it in sites. It says it is working with Drupal and Wordpress. http://vanillaforums.org/addon/embedvanilla-plugin |
