I should add that this site should be free. Basically, I run a weekly basketball game for old folks like me, which has started to degenerate due to arguments over embarrassingly stupid things. (Does this kind of thing follow me around?) Anyway, I wanted to run a short "lightbulbs" for my group so we can hash out viable options to the problems we've been having, and then run a surveymonkey to get a (bullshit) consensus.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
There are message boards like voy.com, which have threaded topics.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Nah, it's not just you.

I thought about doing a blog, but it seems like overkill? I may end up going that route.
It just seems like a free short-term message board is the type of thing that should already be out in the interwebs. I just can't find it.

Wolfram, basecamp is indeed free and you can do forums and real time chat. If you want to store files - that's when it starts getting pricey.

Wow basecamp really hides the free there, but I finally found it. Or maybe I'm just daft.
Funnily enough, the 37signals thing sounded really familiar and I ran a search for it in my gmail. Found out I already have a free backpackit account which allows me to create writeboards on which people can comment. That may work.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
As just mentioned, you have to be really careful now with forums which don't require registration - they get spammed to hell and back within weeks of going up, to the point where it becomes unusable.

So, how do I get my old computer (the MacMini) to see the printer attached to the AirPort Express?

Ah. The AirPort just needed to update like crazy.
