I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for a philosophy forum, in particular one where ethics is discussed -- theoretical ethics rather than bioethics or other applied ethics.

The best one I know of is PhilPapers. I'm sure they have something regarding ethics but you'll have to look. Only problem is if you're not a professional philosopher (per their definition) your posts will have to be read and approved by the moderator prior to them being posted which generally means there is a delay before they get posted.

I strongly recommend Spinoza's Ethics.
 
There are sites like philosophyforums.com and philosophyforums.net. I haven't visited either in years, but one is very much like this place ad lead me here.
