Apart from the techie stuff about how to set up the bulletin board youre going to need a set of Rules & Guidelines. for example see the Rules & Guidelines at the top of this board. that will allow you to regulate the kind of discussions you wish to happen & not happen on your board.

for eg. you are an exmember but do you want discussions about the COG/FOL cult to spill over onto your board when probably most of the posters who will gravitate to your board will have never been in the cult & won't care about those discussions? So you might want to write those boundaries right into your Guidelines so that if that starts happening, you have the rules in place already.

All the best to you! hope you find the techie friend who can help you get all set up.
