Does anyone have experience running a forum? I am helping a buddy set up a forum for a informal group that he is involved in.

One thing I would like to be able to do is set him up with a host that is:

1) inexpensive
2) One-Click install of a good (recommended?) forum app

Also, I am not all that familiar with forum apps, but it would be cool if the patches and upgrades for the forum app was as easy as possible.

My current host (GoDaddy) offers one-click upgrades for WordPress...which is cool (they are pretty slow with the upgrades, which means I am always behind in version).

Is this an issue with forum apps?

THANKS!
