Message board software
What is a web message board
A web message board is a web site for public discussion and sharing of news about a particular topic. Anybody can post a message and anybody can read it.
A message board differs from a mailing list in that you don't have to subscribe. It differs from a Usenet newsgroup in that improper messages can be removed.
Two software systems available
