I actually made a phpBB message board on my website back in November. I never showed it to the group or finished working on it but here it is: http://www.ourglasshouse.com/gsas/ I enjoy message boards because they're a lot easier to follow for me. All replies are there in the post. Pictures and galleries can be added. Private messages are handy. They're great. There's also a feature that can be added where you can subscribe to actual boards rather than just posts. Then you'll be notified of all activity on the board via Email if you prefer. That's a feature I really like over at AquariumAdvice.com. I far prefer a message board for communication, but I understand that many people prefer a newsgroup.

Another option is changing the board to a phpBB style board where you can receive "private messages" but hide your email address if you'd like. Here's just one example: http://www.plantedtank.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=3&sid=33930d1971d0d412fbf90 e4ffcc124f6 Food for thought.
