Wally, cool idea, but can you tell me what the unique (i.e. value
proposition) things that the Compuserve forum bring to the table, and how
much it will cost?

I have my own server on the Internet, and I can certainly host something of
this sort. I can put up a "Web Board" script on my web server, and even
hack some popular scripts up to do exactly what you want...

So what exactly is it that you're looking for... can you point us to some
forums that will give us an idea of what to look for?
