Hi! I'm heylookalive the creator of Harmony Forum, an ecosystem/platform/you get the idea built with Drupal to provide a modern entity based Forum!
I'd have loved for Harmony to be in the mix in this discussion (and would be open to future discussion) as it as a project takes on basically all of the topics covered.
I won't go too nuts as there's a massive amount I could say, instead I'll say come check out the project. I'd encourage people to look at the core project page first (as it links off to the many submodules, including OG support) or try out the very light distro. Harmony's aim is to make working with Forums in Drupal less painful, quicker and more intelligent by design than what's currently out there (or 3rd party integrations).

I've done a series of talks on Harmony at various Camps in Europe, a fun interview on Modules Unravelled and put in a session proposal for DrupalCon LA.
