looking for a provider of forums service

[Skaperen]

i do consider stackoverflow to be a great place.  when i have questions i usually give it to google and it usually gives me stackoverflow or the like.   when i have spare time i often go to one of the overflow sites and answer some questions, make comments, or click some up/down buttons.  or i come here and hassle y'all.  reddit is probably the place to go.  i am not a facebookie or such (never created an account there).  i'd like to set up a forum for a number of things but i don't want to spend the time managing it.  i don't want to even think of trying anything in google groups.
