for discussion forum (think similar to du..missing some features have some others)
eblah http://www.eblah.com/

the other two runner ups in that range would probably be
phpbb and simple machines 2
http://www.forum-software.org/forum-comparator/e-blah-vs-phpbb3-vs-simple-machines-2

however are you sure you want a discussion forum as opposed a 'trouble ticket system/help desk system'

or a combination of both

one allows discussion between people, the other allows creation of a ticket that can be used (police community)(and documented and tracked as well as wiki'ed) but not neccessarily discussed between users
