What discussion alternatives have you used with SharePoint 2010…?

Question

I'm just wondering what solutions people have implemented for discussion forums in SharePoint 2010.

Do you mostly opt to use the out-of-the-box discussion lists and web parts?

Are there alternative web parts that you have used?

Have you gone with a completely different solution for featuring discussions?

Cheers!

I find SharePoint's forums particularly poor. The guys at lightningtools provide a third party solution.
