I would set up a moderated mailing list (or several lists) using Mailman, and make the list archives available via the web. It doesn't have all of the fancy graphics of a PHP-based webforum, but it will require much less resources. Although, if you really want to, you can permit the list to pass HTML mail and attachments, so people can create animated .sigs, use pictures instead of text smileys, and who knows what else. Another alternative might be to use Usenet, as some newsreaders have better threading and search capabilities than MUAs. -- -Chuck
