For any burgeoning community, the hard part is to get people to come back. Apps like vbulletin are great when you already have people, but seeding them is hard. If you can create a mailing list which automatically posts to the messageboard and all messageboard posts go to the mailing list you will have a good start as it will be much easier for a small number of people to engage. As the volume picks up, people will digest or go to the site directly to read.
