    Do you offer forums?

    It seems like so many people are starting forums for all kinds of stuff these days, and I notice more and more hosting companies are offering forums as part of their package. Are you? What does it cost you, and how difficult is setup? Is it in big demand? I recently had a prospective ask if...
