: One thing with self-hosting is you have to deal with spammers and
: they will find you in short order. I ran my own for a few months
: and I spent more time deleting spammers than dealing with real
: members. I eventually moved mine to an existing Board and let
: the owner fight the spammers. So you may want to look at letting
: someone else deal with that.

: I run a small (50 members or less) email list on Google for local
: paddlers to talk and that is painless. It is all done by email,
: not a board but it works well for us.

Our local club also has a Google email list. Since all the members of the list are friends in real life, there really isn't a need for a forum. Many clubs are also on Yahoo, also basically free.
