Usally a 100mbit, card connected to a 100mbit port at the router.. Full Duplex, is rather common..
10mbit are available to, Hardly any site can max out 100mbit line and if you do, you will be paying a fortune in overage charges.. the 100mbit is good because its mainly for "Bursting" to handle sudden spikes in traffic. A forum does not use "That" much bandwidth per user because they are basically down loading just text. If their browser caches the images, then they really are only downloading text each different page they visit. So for a Forum site 10mbit would probably work. Unless you have alot of changeing images, and attachments that the users will be downloading.
