I think this is the core one. The team has suggested for a while that they'd eventually get active forums in ready to replace this one, but it's never really materialized. I haven't heard about the status of it in a little while.

It seems like a duplicated wasted effort to work on two forum modules. Choose one, consolidate the efforts into one and make it awesome. Doesn't this make most sense? I am guessing they are committed to the core and make it good like AF?

The direction from the corp should be clear. This way volunteer developers don't waste their time and efforts.

Both ActiveForums and the old core Forums module are open-source projects, and not something that the Corp controls. There is sometimes confusion with this as the main (really only) core forums developer was Chris Paterra (building off Tam Minh's earlier work) and he is a DNN Corp employee - however Chris worked on the forums in his spare time and he is no longer interested in developing it. ActiveForums has already been forked (project is somewhere on github) and I would expect the old "core" forum to end up similarly getting new life in a fork.

FYI dnnsoftware.com runs the core forum with a few bugfixes we made (that we will contribute to anyone who takes on the forums project)
