How hard is it to "administer" a message board?

I'm maintaining a website, have hosting, and make many of the decisions. I am considering an internal message board on the available domain just to keep up with information.

It seems to be the simple things that fall through the cracks, and a message board, that only designated people could read, would eliminate these losses.

I've looked into "yetanotherforum," "vanilla forum," and "dcforum." Seems easy enough to give a try, but would everything be contained in the installation directory (that would be deletable if it fails) or would a message board intrude the whole domain?

I am not sure of the questions to ask really. My main goal is to have a central point on the internet that is private to exchange ideas/tasks.

I know about the Computer Help and Support Group, but seem to have lost my ability to post there. Drag in the geniuses. :P

Any tips are welcome.

setting up a news server. You can set it up to require a password. It is extremely simple to set up, particularly if you are using linux (on edit: because it is already part of most installations)

you can't post at the Computer Help Support Group?

'Fraid I can't help with your forum questions.

February already? :rofl:

Thanks for giving me a clue hehe
