How do I start a message board?

[yAyA]

Hey Peeps!

I'm interested in starting a message board and I really like how this one is structured. How do I put together a board that has this format? Don't worry it's nothing to do with Early Retirement.

I've always been partial to threaded boards.* You can find a basic version at www.boardhost.com.* Compuserve once had the most elegantly designed forums around and they still haven't been matched to this day.* The threaded boards lend themselves more to conversation--similar to private emails, only anyone can join in.* *The also eliminate the need for clunky quoting of previous messages.* Alas, they are a dying breed.
