What's a good site to setup a support forum? [closed]

Question

I have a small software company and we have a forum (WebWiz Forums) on our site. Honestly, with all the spammer attacks, it's more hassle than it's worth.

I'd like to outsource the forum to some 3rd party site. What's a good site to setup a forum on?

It needs to have the following qualities:

• Free
• Reliable
• Handle spam properly
• If they want to display ads, I am ok with that
• It does not necessarily need to be under my domain name. It could be mycompany.TheForumCompany.com
