Well I think that's because there's not an awesome themer like RocketTheme supporting it yet. With the user changes in Joomla 1.6, it is a really good fit since no bridge will be required (i.e. phpBB), but you will have good user management.
Here is the main themer so far: http://www.templatekunena.com/
Although they are nowhere near the quality of RocketTheme...
Maybe just include it in Joomla templates as a third party theming. I don't know if it's ready for it's own club yet. I suppose that depends how much work it takes to do the theming. I wouldn't have a clue on that...
wait so you're saying that in 1.6 you won't have to have a bridge? Will it have all the same integration as Kunena w/ CB?
Man now if I could jus find a wiki

- I am interested in the server load, I don't think Kunena is as efficient as phpbb3, as that will probably pose a major headache.

I thought this was a major thing they were working on?

I'm totally agree with JT.
I'm member of your joomla and phpbb3 clubs, and i've been kunena user. The fact I'm using PHPBB3 is due to the lack of add ons such as the poll, or a better moderation system. Now, looking at Kunena 1.6 and testing it on my test site with joomla 1.6 I could say that it's awesome!
So if you start to make some templates for kunena 1.6 be sure that I'll pay for it.

I had a browse of the Kunena support forums and it indeed looks like ACL is planned in an upcoming release. That seems the logical approach since it is a Joomla component and not a standalone program.
Feel free to go have a look around and ask more questions: http://www.kunena.com/

My understanding is that you didn't have to bridge anyway as it's a Joomla extension? I don't use CB. I also want a proper Joomla Wiki extension (and themed by RocketTheme!).

Can we do something with this Wiki thing because It sucks and I can't find a soluton.

This seems to be the only integrated Wiki that is being actively worked on:

JomWiki also looked good, but it's not been touched in a year: http://www.azrul.com/products/joomla-wiki.html
Anyway, lets not hijack this thread anymore.
