Punbb is a free one and validates to xhtml Strict. And there are Chat Rooms available through the fantastico on the Hosting accounts here.

If you use Mambo, you can have a forum intergrated into the design of your site by installing the Simpleboard component (fom Two Shoes Mambo Factory, http://www.tsmf.net/) It's very free, and provides a decent feature set. It can intergrate with Community Builder user profiles, and has a limited set of user permissions.

phpbb is very good because a lot of people are familiar with it. But I would recomend SMF, you can install it through fantastico in your cpanel here. With SMF, you can add features like a chatroom or arcade to your board directly through the SMF admin panel. They've got a few chatroom mods that only take a few clicks to install. I've been using the Everywherechat mod in my SMF for around a year now. It's nice because people can also access the chatroom from an IRC client if they feel more comfortable with that.
