Slightly OT : forums

[Bill Marriott]

It would be hard to rival the simplicity of using phpBB. Most cPanel-based 
hosting providers enable you to click a couple buttons and have the forum up 
and running in less than 5 minutes. Plus, phpBB has a deep feature set, 
dozens of plug-ins for extra features, and an active support community. 
Customizing them often means learning a little PHP though. There are many 
options besides phpBB. (Everyone has their favorite forum software.)

It might be more fun/rewarding to build your own forum software using the 
Rev CGI though :)
