Forum is just a generic word to define application. Basically it just serve the purpose of communication within community. Their are many ways that can be achieved. 
Find a purpose for users to communicate with each another and rest will work by itself. 

Many active forum members. Maybe this is of help: https://www.theadminzone.com/threads/starting-a-new-forum-in-2022.154218/

Unique quality content and quality members, that's about it.

The only option would be a custom application and its fairly easy 
 

Hmm, maybe you need to be logged in to see the button?
You can also purchase the application from the Client Area, after clicking on Manage Your Community.

Yes, you need to purchase and install the Downloads application: https://invisioncommunity.com/features/downloads/

</font><strong>  
The font tag is deprecated and the strong tag is not closed properly. You should change the prefix to:
<strong style='color:#cc0000'> And change the suffix to:
