Speaking as a moderator of one newsgroup (rec.autos.sport.nascar.moderated),
nine yahoo groups, and a mailing list for District 2, the key cost is
time and energy.  I doubt that it would take much cash to install
a forum on our nsrca web site.

It depends on the sophistication of the support software.
With e-mail and newsgroups, I know what I've seen and
what I haven't.  I don't have to log in by hand to
collect either kind of post.  I've never gotten
involved in any forums for any length of time.
