As I said, I will try to follow the forum regardless, so I'll
volunteer here too.

I don't know what software would be best, but I set up both Vanilla
and SMF to try out and they seem like either would be fine. I liked
Vanilla's setup, and it'd probably be easier to hack on later, so I
guess that's my pick, but I really don't mind much.

I would also happily host it if we want it somewhere distinct from the
main site.
