Likely would self-host. We are a volunteer organization without a lot of money so ...... Did find a place or two where we could rent space but not sure how that would work. I like the idea of setting up, getting it going and turning it over to someone else once we see how it is being used -- but I suspect that is a backward way of doing things. Thanks for the reply.

: Do you want to self-host or have your forum hosted ? Self-hosting
: offers more flexability & customising, but takes more to
: administer. PHPBB (www.phpbb.com) has a very popular &
: full-featured free forum, but it is not for the faint-hearted to
: setup & administer. Brian's suggestion may be a simpler
: & better alternative. Alternatively, there are sites out
: there that offer free forum hosting & pre-configured forum
: software. www.proboards.com is one of many.
