Hi, I have the job of setting up a website for a small nonprofit organization.
One of the things they would like is a forum were they can post messages 
under different topics similar to how a mailing list works but on the web. 
I was going to do this in PHP/MySQL and I know that there are prebuilt ones 
out there. Can any one suggest easy to set up and maintain ones to me? If 
possible I would like to use a flat file instead of MySQL but given they 
are slow after a few threads I don't think it would be practical even on a 
low volume site.
Also how easy would it be to set up a mailing list? I heard a rumor that 
the free ones are closing down.
Thanks
Tim
