As an example, I threw up this site in under 5 minutes:
http://tentec.freeforums.net/

If the group is interested, we could grow this out to the correct structure, appoint multiple admins, and agree on posting guidelines.  Or I can easily delete the whole thing.  It's totally free although I suspect some ads might pop up in the margins.
