FWIW, I really like http://community.boost.org

Plus it is easy to do and cost free, at least as far as the DNS part goes.

There must be some way to configure an apache web server to know that a page 
request is directed at community.boost.org. For the current web site we just 
point our www.boost.org DNS record at a general SourceForge IP address, and 
somehow the apache web server at SF knows the request is for boost rather 
than any of the other project web pages hosted at that same IP address.
