A friend and I have started working on a solution that allows customizable, simple, hosted (or embeddable) forums. Consider Tumblr's approach to blogging as applied to forums for the general feel.

Do you think there is a market for this? If so, what features would you like to see?

I definitely think so. This isn't the first time I've wanted to embed simple forums that easily integrate into a login system I already have in place in the site. I don't want to have to hack up phpBB or anything like that - phpBB is a bit bloated anyways imho. Usually I just want them to provide community support in small projects I work on that already have login systems.

My only suggestion is to make them easy to integrate into a premade login system, and not overly bloated.
