Anyone know of a simple forum, but without login?

Question

I have a special need for a very simple forum type thing.
Really, it would allow someone to post something, and have it show
up on the page, someone else could add something, and on and on,
almost like a list of posts. The page is on a password protected
page, so I have no worry or need for security or anything.
Requiring users to get a user and pw, and all the normal junk that
goes with a regular Forum, just isn't necessary.
Has anyone here seen such a thing?

Answer 1

Depends on which flavors your server supports - asp, jsp,
php, perl/cgi?
There are several open source forum scripts out there.
Or, signup for an account with www.newsgrouphosting.com
For only $10.99 per month - THEY take care of all the work
and security
issues for you. You can have an unlimited number of
newsgroups (both public
and private) and you get an easy desktop program to
administer it.
Your groups can be moderated - or not. You can require
registration - or
not. It already supports a Captcha type visual confirmation
to help stop
spammers.
Best of all - these are REAL newsgroups - not just forums.
This means that
your visitors can access them via the browser OR a regular
newsreader like
Outlook, etc.
Good luck on your project,
