Bulletin-board software that doesn't suck



My company has lots of little subgroups that often want to
set up bulletin boards for single issues that last a month
or so and then disappear. We want it to be

* threaded
* easily scalable (thousands of disjoint bulletin boards
  could be running on one machine, hopefully without
  spawning thousands of processes)
* easy to install (e.g., I could create a new bulletin board
  as easily as I create a new mailing list in mailman)
* easy to upgrade, which means in particular that as much as
  possible is broken out into plugins.

Can anyone suggest a solution? I've been playing with phpBB
in recent days, and have found it pathetic. Patching it, in
particular, is a nightmare -- hence the final bullet above.

Do people on this list run lots of bulletin boards for
their clients?
