I would go this way, or an empty vBulleting. Moving this forum over would have the benefit that we already have a nice community over here, so there wouldn't be need to build one from scratch.

Using a Drupal module doesn't sound like a good idea, just like using a Midgard module wouldn't have made much sense for maemo.org. Generally a specialized forum application is better in every way than something developed as a minor part of a CMS. I'm pretty sure we already learned that with Maemo's Wiki

The new forum would need properly labeled areas for Maemo and Moblin things to discuss the older platform releases, as well as new ones for MeeGo (and the different UX versions).

Besides, we already have some experiences with rebranding this forum, from the ITT -> TMO change...
