We need this to be quick and simple. Before I go out to see what freeware I can snag (I did this 7 years ago with a neat freeware bulletin board, but the one I used then isn't available anymore) is anyone else using something like this that they can recommend? Again, it's got to be plug and play, and it doesn't need a lot of features - I'm swamped and don't have a lot of time to set it up.
