Hello Free Pinters

Can you advise on suitable bulletin board tools that could be used for a small community of collectors that we are hoping to create round a website I am currently working on? I am interested in trying this out for a client who has very shallow pockets ( the site is non commercial, run purely out
of personal interest), and the client would prefer not to moderate any such forum. The aim of the forum/bulletin board would be for collectors to converse, arrange swaps/sales and exchange thoughts/tips/obsessions!

Is there a simple solution, and can you advise on possible pitfalls the uninitiated should avoid?

Any suggestions and war stories gratefully received.

Regards, Charlie Elsey
