The Question and Answer Board

[SoxFan]

Matt, the first message boards I was involved with were in 1979. They used Vax Notes and were internal boards with the company that discussed everything from soccer to politics to engineering. There were some sensitive topics in which the poster had to get permission to join the group as the group was anonymous and one could not enter or view the discussion without permission. I set up several as they were client specific and on a need to know basis. However, there were social boards such for Drug dependency, life styles, etc. If there were users that wanted privacy maybe for a small fee to join the group (what ever additional maintenance costs needed) it could be password protected to join. That way people could do and say whatever they want and only the internal board moderators would be the judges.

Just a thought.
